AI Risk, Superintelligence & The Fight Ahead — A Deep Dive with Liv Boeree | For Humanity #74

In this episode of For Humanity, John sits down with Liv Boeree — poker champion, systems thinker, and longtime AI risk advocate — for a candid conversation about where we truly stand in the race toward advanced AI. Liv breaks down why public understanding of superintelligence is so uneven, how misaligned incentives shape the entire ecosystem, and why issues like surveillance, culture, and gender dynamics matter more than people realize.

They explore the emotional realities of working on existential risk, the impact of doomscrolling, and how mindset and intuition keep people grounded in such turbulent times. The result is a clear, grounded, and surprisingly hopeful look at the future of technology, power, and responsibility. If you’re passionate about understanding AI’s real impacts (today and tomorrow), this is a must-watch.

Together, they explore:

* The real risks we face from AI — today and in the coming years

* Why public understanding of superintelligence is so fractured

* How incentives, competition, and culture misalign technology with human flourishing

* What poker teaches us about deception, risk, and reading motives

* The role of women, intuition, and “mama bear energy” in the AI safety movement
