In 1986, a single technological failure at the Chernobyl nuclear power plant changed the world. Today, AI is advancing at an unprecedented pace—but could it be heading toward a catastrophic failure of its own?

In this episode, I explore:
⚠️ The real risks of AI—autonomous warfare, financial collapse, deepfake-driven misinformation
🧠 The incredible opportunities AI offers in medicine, sustainability, and creativity
✅ The critical steps we must take to prevent an AI disaster

From AI replacing millions of jobs to deepfake propaganda making truth almost impossible to verify, we are on the edge of something huge. Will AI revolutionize the world for the better, or are we sleepwalking into its Chernobyl moment?

Listen now and decide: Will AI lead us to disaster, or can we harness it for a better future?
