Hello, welcome to another episode of Science with Dr. Carl, where this week we were joined by Dr. Peter Lebedev.

You might remember, Peter did an episode a few years ago.

We did a Science of Movies special with him as a physicist, as a science communicator.

He's now back, and in the last few years, he's been looking into AI, the science behind it, the risks, the future.

And we get into a bunch of your questions this week about AI and science.

I'm going to be honest with you, it didn't really ease any of my concerns.

He's going to tell you why very soon, but also the glimmer of hope and some of the benefits of this technology.

Plus, we get your regular science questions for Dr. Carl.

So let's jump in.

I've got Dr. Carl across from me.

And Dr. Carl, we are also joined by a very special guest, a friend of the show, Dr. Peter Lebedev.

You're famous in our lives.

Now, Peter, we've had you on before.

You did a science of movies special with us, you know, tapping into the world of physics.

And while that is still, you know, your baby, you've been doing some pretty significant work when it comes to research into AI.

It's a big question, but I think what are the prominent things that you have been working on since we last spoke?

What was the thing that kind of set off that concern?

What do you think in the last couple of years is the most mind-blowing thing that you've learned about AI?

Ty in Mullumbimby, you do have an AI question.

What do you want to know?
