AI Is Mutating and We Don't Know What it Is Doing (Video)
In this 10 March 2026 published video, host Peter McCormack talks with AI researcher and former LLM builder Connor Leahy, an AI researcher, entrepreneur, and prominent voice in AI safety, best known as the CEO of Conjecture and co-founder of EleutherAI. He focuses on building controllable, interpretable AI systems and actively advocates for addressing the risks associated with Artificial General Intelligence (AGI).
Many people think AI is carefully engineered. In reality, it’s closer to something being grown and these systems are evolving in ways even their creators struggle to predict. Leahy explains what’s happening inside the labs: why the alignment problem remains unsolved, why the race to AGI is accelerating, and why the people leading it may be moving faster than they understand.
Also discussed is AI risk, Silicon Valley’s power dynamics, the Department of Defense’s growing involvement and the rise of “AI psychosis.”
