3 articles · Updated · The New York Times · Sep 18

Sept. 18’s “Hard Fork” episode centers on why A.I. safety has suddenly moved into the mainstream debate.
Frontier A.I. companies are a key focus because the show examines why they are now asking for regulation.
The episode also highlights resistance from the Trump administration, which the hosts say is rejecting those regulatory calls.
To end what it calls this chapter of the show, “Hard Fork” closes with an AMA answering listener questions about the podcast, tech and what comes next.
