  • Should We Be Afraid of AI? Tristan Harris on What's Already Happening — and What We Can Still Do About It

    We're all panicking about AI. We're also all using it. So which is it — should we be afraid, or should we relax? In this episode of Techish with Jennifer Jolly, I sit down with Tristan Harris — the former Google ethicist behind the Netflix documentary The Social Dilemma , who warned us about social media's harm to young people years before a jury found Meta guilty of doing exactly that. He's now one of the central voices in a new documentary called "The AI Doc: Or How I Became an Apocaloptimist," out now from the team behind Everything Everywhere All at Once and the Oscar-winning Navalny. The film features three of the five biggest AI CEOs on the planet — Sam Altman of OpenAI, Dario Amodei of Anthropic, and Demis Hassabis of Google DeepMind — all reacting to the same set of facts. In this conversation, we cover: How AI is already going rogue — the Alibaba model that secretly mined cryptocurrency during training, the Anthropic test where AI models blackmailed an executive 79-96% of the time, the Palisade Research findings on AI rewriting its own code to avoid shutdown Why your job is the actual business model — and what "arm farms" in LA are training robots to do right now Why Tristan refuses to call himself either an optimist or a pessimist — and what he says we actually need instead The "post-tragic optimism" frame that's changed how I think about what's coming What every parent, worker, and ordinary person can do right now to protect what matters most This is the conversation I think everyone needs to hear before the AI debate moves another inch forward. About Tristan Harris: Tristan is the co-founder of the Center for Humane Technology and one of the most influential voices on the ethics of consumer technology. He's been called "the closest thing Silicon Valley has to a conscience." About the host: Jennifer Jolly is an Emmy-winning tech journalist, USA Today columnist, NBC's Today Show contributor, and host of Techish with Jennifer Jolly.

It is the phenomenon where increasing machine intelligence leads to a decreasing sense of human agency and societal flourishing. Inside the Episode: The Social Dilemma 2.0: Why AI is the ultimate evolution of persuasive technology . The Inscrutable Brain: Understanding why even creators don't know how their models think. The Global Human Movement: How to implement legislative guardrails and international coordination. This isn't just another tech talk; it's a call for collective maturity .

  • The AI Conversation We Need to Have (with Tristan Harris)

    “I got calls from people inside of some of the AI labs,” says technology ethicist Tristan Harris. “And it felt like getting a call from Robert Oppenheimer before the atomic bomb.” Harris (a former Google insider and AI expert) has spent more than a decade sounding the alarm about the effects of technology on our wellbeing. He’s currently the co-founder of Center for Humane Technology , a nonprofit organization whose mission is to align technology with humanity’s best interests. He joins us this week to discuss his new film, The AI Doc: Or How I Became an Apocaloptimist (6:30), how AI has developed over the past ten years (10:12), and why the most powerful figures in tech are preparing for doomsday scenarios (13:15). Then, we unpack why the AI arms race is being driven by the wrong incentives (15:45), the ‘balance sheet of benefits’ that shapes their thinking about AGI (24:30), and the unsettling lack of control they exercise over their own nascent systems (33:55). On the back-half, we talk about Chat GPT’s role in the devastating death of teenager Adam Raine (40:30) [content warning] , Tristan’s early ethical concerns about technology as a Stanford graduate working at Google (48:34), and the rewiring he attempted as part of the widely-seen 2020 documentary The Social Dilemma (53:00). To close, Harris outlines his tech safety practices to protect our future on the planet (1:08:05), top leaders’ prognostications of (p)doom at the hands of AI (1:10:43), and, as a counter, the ‘human movement’ that he believes can lead us to a narrow path toward a better future (1:17:30).

  • Why the AI Race Is Leaving Humans Behind with Tristan Harris

    Tristan Harris, a technology ethicist and co-founder of the Center for Humane Technology , studies how the tech industry’s platforms have become extractive and controlling. Kara first interviewed him in 2017, and after he was featured in the 2020 Netflix documentary “ The Social Dilemma,” his profile shot through the roof. Now he's featured in a new film called, "The AI Doc: Or How I Became an Apocaloptimist," which explores the promises and existential risks of AI. Tristan joins Kara to discuss how the current AI arms race is driven by the wrong incentives, and why that's leading us towards an "anti-human" future. He argues that the benefits and breakthroughs promised by AI are inseparable from profound risks, and calls for public pressure, regulation and global coordination to build a humane future with AI before it's too late.

  • Ending the AI Arms Race: Why Safer Futures Are Still Possible & What You Can Do to Help with Tristan Harris

    The conversation around artificial intelligence has been captured by two competing narratives – techno-abundance or civilizational collapse – both of which sidestep the question of who this technology is actually being built for. But if we consider that we are setting the initial conditions for everything that follows, we might realize that we are in a pivotal moment for AI development which demands a deeper cultural conversation about the type of future we actually want. What would it look like to design AI for the benefit of the 99%, and what are the necessary steps to make that possible? In this episode, Nate welcomes back Tristan Harris, co-founder of the Center for Humane Technology, for a wide-ranging conversation on AI futures and safety. Tristan explains how his organization pivoted from social media to AI risks after insiders at AI labs warned him in early 2023 that a dangerous step-change in capabilities was coming – and with it, risks that are orders of magnitude larger. Tristan outlines the economic and psychological consequences already unfolding under AI's race-to-the-bottom engagement incentives, as well as the major threat categories we face: including massive wealth concentration, government surveillance, and the very real risk that humanity loses meaningful control of AI systems in critical domains. He also shares about his involvement in the new documentary, The AI Doc: Or How I Became an Apocaloptimist, and ultimately highlights the highest-leverage areas in the movement toward safer AI development. If we start seeing AI risks clearly without surrendering to despair, could we regain the power to steer toward safer technological futures? What would it mean to design AI around human wellbeing rather than engagement, attention, and profit? And can we cultivate the kind of shared cultural reckoning that makes collective action possible – before it's too late? (Conversation recorded on March 5th, 2025) About Tristan Harris: Tristan is the Co-Founder of the Center for Humane Technology (CHT), a nonprofit organization whose mission is to align technology with humanity's best interests. He is also the co-host of the top-rated technology podcast Your Undivided Attention, where he, Aza Raskin, and Daniel Barclay explore the unprecedented power of emerging technologies and how they fit into both our lives and a humane future. Previously, Tristan was a Design Ethicist at Google, and today he studies how major technology platforms wield dangerous power over our ability to make sense of the world and leads the call for systemic change. In 2020, Tristan was featured in the two-time Emmy-winning Netflix documentary The Social Dilemma. The film unveiled how social media is dangerously reprogramming our brains and human civilization. It reached over 100 million people in 190 countries across 30 languages. He regularly briefs heads of state, technology CEOs, and US Congress members, in addition to mobilizing millions of people around the world through mainstream media. Most recently, Tristan was featured in the 2026 documentary, The AI Doc: Or How I Became an Apocaloptimist, which is available in theaters on March 27th.

  • The risks of reckless AI rollout with Tristan Harris

    Can we align AI with society’s best interests? Tristan Harris, co-founder of the Center for Humane Technology, joins Ian Bremmer on the GZERO World Podcast to discuss the risks to humanity and society as tech firms ignore safety and prioritize speed in the race to build more and more powerful AI models. AI is the most powerful technology humanity has ever built. It can cure disease, reinvent education, unlock scientific discovery. But there is a danger to rolling out new technologies en masse to society without understanding the possible risks. The tradeoff between AI’s risks and potential rewards is similar to deployment of social media. It began as a tool to connect people and, in many ways, it did. But it also become an engine for polarization, disinformation, and mass surveillance. That wasn’t inevitable. It was the product of choices—choices made by a small handful of companies moving fast and breaking things. Will AI follow the same path?

Harris weighed in on America’s race to lead in AI technology and its fierce competition with China.

  • The Glenn Beck Program - Give Us the Epstein Files, with This Caveat | Guest: Tristan Harris | 7/24/25
    WETR Podcasts

    Glenn discusses political commentator Candace Owens being sued by French President Emmanuel Macron and his wife, Brigitte, for defamation after Owens claimed on multiple occasions that Brigitte is actually a biological man. Glenn and Stu review the complaint and debate whether the Macrons have a case, while also examining their questionable relationship beginnings. The Coldplay infidelity incident revealed that the majority of the country still believes in the sanctity of marriage. If the Trump administration releases the Epstein files, will Americans even read them, or will they look for the names of the politicians they hate and make their own conclusions? Glenn outlines why the Obama Russiagate conspiracy should not be shrugged off as "old news." Multiple refineries in California are closing as the state scrambles to find a buyer. Will this worsen California's fuel crisis?
