In this episode, Duncan speaks with Adario Strange to explain why the commercialization of space will continue to fuel our explorations into the Moon and Mars, and how AI-powered robots may be the primary method for deep space exploration in the future. Then the discussion turns toward the topic of AI safety and the algorithm the Stanford group developed to try to help guide the technology in the right direction.
