About this listen

In this episode, hosts Michael Minelli and Adam Smith welcome Nicholas Beale, founder and director at Sciteb, for an insightful look at AI ethics and governance. Nicholas discusses his early internet ethics work and his paper on the Unethical Optimisation Principle, explaining why AI optimisers disproportionately pick unethical strategies by ignoring future downsides. He explores mitigations like panels of AIs, risks of single-system reliance, defence challenges, the Investor Consensus on Responsible AI, guardrail issues, and the need for diversity to avoid systemic risks. A mathematically grounded conversation urging balanced systems that preserve human judgment and the common good.
