In this episode, we examine why AI safety and governance have become unavoidable as general-purpose AI systems move into every layer of society. We explore how the shift from narrow models to general-purpose AI amplifies risk, why high-level “responsible AI” principles often fail in practice, and what it takes to build systems that can be trusted at scale.

We break down the core pillars of trustworthy AI—fairness, reliability, transparency, and human oversight—and follow them across the full AI lifecycle, from pre-training and fine-tuning to deployment and continuous monitoring. The discussion also tackles real failure modes, from hallucinations and bias to misinformation, dual-use risks, and the limits of current alignment techniques.

This episode covers:

• Why general-purpose AI fundamentally changes the risk landscape
• The pillars of trustworthy AI: fairness, safety, transparency, and oversight
• The AI lifecycle: pre-training, fine-tuning, deployment, and monitoring
• Hallucinations, bias amplification, and misinformation risks
• Alignment challenges, red teaming, and accountability gaps
• Market concentration, environmental costs, and global governance
