Film metaphors and why fiction misleads

What happens if we build something smarter than ourselves - and can't turn it off?

In this interview, I chat with Andrea Miotti about the global race toward superintelligent AI: systems designed to outperform humans across every task, operate autonomously, and integrate directly into the economy.

We discuss how today's AI tools quietly cross from assistance into replacement, why "kill switches" don't work, and how a handful of companies are pushing toward a point of no return.
