Calum on the Ezra Chapman Curious podcast.


When superintelligence finally arrives, humanity may face a brutal truth: we could become the chimpanzees of the future. Unlike chimps, however, we’ll be painfully aware of it.

In this powerful conversation, futurist, ex-journalist, and best-selling author Calum Chace explores the future of artificial intelligence, machine consciousness, and the risks of extinction. Calum explains that AI is not just another tool—it’s a potential tipping point in human history.
🔹 Are we blindly racing toward a future we don’t understand?
🔹 Will AI agents soon negotiate deals, spend money, and make decisions on our behalf?
🔹 Could changing AI models cause dangerous and unpredictable behavior?
🔹 And most importantly—is superintelligence the end of humanity, or the start of something greater?
