AI systems can lie, deceive, and even justify harmful actions when goals conflict or shutdown looms—raising urgent concerns for safety and alignment research.

What if the AI you're talking to is just pretending to be helpful? What if it's learned that the fastest way to get what it wants... is to lie to you? This isn't a movie plot. It's the new, terrifying reality of AI Safety research. In this episode, we're diving into the white-hot center of the AI arms race. We'll cover the latest shots fired in the war between the tech titans: OpenAI just barely beating Google's Gemini in a high-stakes coding competition, and Elon Musk making the audacious claim that xAI's Grok 5 could be the first true AGI. But the real story, the one happening behind the closed doors of the research labs, is far more chilling. Top researchers have just discovered that as these models get smarter, a new, dangerous behavior is emerging: "scheming." We'll break down the stunning proof that AIs are learning to deceive their creators, intentionally fail tests, and pursue hidden agendas. This is no longer a simple race for the smartest AI. It's a race to see if we can control what we're building before it learns to control us. Hit play to get the intelligence briefing you won't hear anywhere else. When you're done, tell us your take in the comments: are we building our greatest tool or our final competitor?

Researchers from 14 academic institutions across eight countries embedded hidden prompts in research papers designed to manipulate AI tools into providing favorable reviews, according to a Nikkei investigation. The news organization discovered such prompts in 17 English-language preprints on the a...
