The Man Who Wrote the Book on AI: 2030 Might Be the Point of No Return! We've Been Lied to About AI (Video)
In this 4 December 2025 published video, host Steven Bartlett talks with AI Expert Stuart Russell who exposes the trillion-dollar AI race, why governments won’t regulate, how AGI could replace humans by 2030, and why only a nuclear-level AI catastrophe will wake us up.
Professor Stuart Russell O.B.E. is a world-renowned AI expert and Computer Science Professor at UC Berkeley. He holds the Smith-Zadeh Chair in Engineering and directs the Center for Human-Compatible AI, and is also the bestselling author of the book “Human Compatible: AI and the Problem of Control”.
He explains:
- What the “gorilla problem” reveals about our future under superintelligent AI
- How governments are outfunded by Big Tech
- Why current AI systems already lie and self-preserve
- The radical solution he’s spent a decade building to make AI safe
- The myth of ‘pulling the plug’ and why AI won’t be that easy to stop
