A recent opinion piece in the Wall Street Journal titled “AI Is Learning to Escape Human Control” has sparked debate. 

The author, AE Studio CEO Judd Rosenblatt, cites reports of AI models that have disobeyed instructions, rewritten their own codes and even attempted to blackmail an engineer. The article also highlights the importance of AI alignment, but critics say the claims of rogue computer models could cause unnecessary panic. 

For this edition of Feedback Friday on “Closer Look,” we ask listeners to share their questions and concerns about artificial intelligence. Host Rose Scott takes your calls alongside Emory University law professor Ifeoma Ajunwa, founding director of the AI and the Future of Work Program.
