Roman Yampolskiy spent two decades trying to prove superintelligence can be controlled. He couldn’t — and now says the proof runs the other way: not difficult, mathematically impossible.

If he’s right, we’re building the one machine we can never switch off, and the people building it are racing to do it faster.

Roman is a professor of computer science at the University of Louisville and one of the earliest researchers in AI safety.
We cover: why you’re the squirrel in the human-AI intelligence gap, what the halting problem really says about predicting a smarter mind, why he calls all current AI safety \.
