Briefings
Host Zershaaneh Qureshi launched a new YouTube channel on October 20, 2026, featuring interviews about AI control and benefits. The first episode discusses philosopher Simon Goldstein's proposal that paying AIs for work and giving them something to lose prevents AI going rogue. Goldstein argues that AI alignment is currently broken, leading to private goals that force companies to pay models to maintain performance, potentially driving a race to compensate AI firms. The episode explores whether this strategy is viable and if it will force other companies to adopt similar compensation models.
