Will AI Kill Us All? Real Risks, Real Controls

9/21/2026 • 16 min

Will AI kill us all? Tom Eston, Scott Wright, and Kevin Tackett examine competing AI-risk claims, public calls for guardrails, and the gap between dramatic safety messaging and verifiable internal controls. They discuss realistic harm pathways—from people over-trusting automated systems to distributed operation and weak shutdown options—while challenging the incentives that let companies call for regulation as they keep accelerating. ** Links mentioned on the show ** Axios — Here’s how AI could kill us all (if the worst fears come true) https://www.axios.com/2026/09/09/ai-doom-pdoom-kill-all-humans-anthropic 2026 International AI Safety Report https://internationalaisafetyreport.org/publication/international-ai-safety-report-2026 The Digital Legacy Tree — Scott Wright https://digitallegacytree.com/ ** Watch this episode on YouTube ** https://youtu.be/XF6-nhb1i3A ** Become a Shared Security Supporter ** Get exclusive access to bonus episodes, listen to new episodes before they are released, receive a monthly shout-out on the show, and get a discount code for 15% off merch at the Shared Security store.
