Welcome to Science Forward, the podcast of the UN Secretary-General’s Scientific Advisory Board. Featuring world-leading scientists, it explores today’s challenges, from AI and biotechnology to climate and health. Hosted by Adam Day & Julia Bhattacharjee, the podcast breaks down big questions in plain language.
In the very first episode of Science Forward, released 19 May, Science Forward sat down with Board member Yoshua Bengio and AI policy expert Charlotte Stix to unpack the growing risks of deceptive AI and answered the question: What happens when AI learns to lie?
The second episode features Board member and Nobel Laureate Thomas Südhof together with Yensi Flores Bueso in a conversation on Mirror Life biology and its potential implications for science and society.
