The AI Daily Brief: Artificial Intelligence News and AnalysisAbout this episode
A new collaboration between the authors of AI 2027 and AI as Normal Technology lays out 12 areas where two very different visions of the future unexpectedly converge. This episode breaks down their shared conclusions on timelines, benchmarks, safety limits, alignment challenges, economic diffusion, and what strong AGI would actually require. The result is a clearer, more grounded picture of the near-term AI landscape and the policy priorities that matter across both fast-takeoff and slow-diffusion scenarios.
