The AI Risk Network

The AI Risk Network is a public content platform dedicated to helping everyday people understand AI extinction risk. Big tech is building AI systems they openly admit have the potential to kill us all. They don’t understand how to control these systems—or even how they work. And they spend all their time and money making them stronger, not safer. It’s a race to suicide that must stop. Originally launched as the YouTube channel For Humanity: An AI Risk Podcast, The AI Risk Network was created to bring the world’s most urgent threat out of Bay Area backrooms and onto Main Street USA. It is now one of the world’s first and largest public-facing content networks focused on AI risk—featuring original video podcasts, video ad campaigns, live specials, and documentaries. We produce programming that explains the risks of runaway AI in plain language—so people can be informed, engaged, and empowered to demand a say in their future. With over 215,000 subscribers, our growing lineup includes: - For Humanity – The original AI risk podcast for the general public, hosted by John Sherman - Warning Shots – An urgent weekly recap of AI risk news, hosted by John Sherman, Liron Shapira, and Michael Zafiris - Unsafe Mode – The AI risk podcast for parents, hosted by Randan Steinhauser (and co-host TBA) - Last Laugh – Let’s laugh while we still can. Hosted by John Sherman with three rotating stand-up comedians - Am I? – The AI consciousness podcast, hosted by AI safety researcher Cameron Berg and philosopher Milo Reed Founded by Peabody and multi–Emmy Award–winning journalist John Sherman, The AI Risk Network delivers urgent, accessible content on the most important issue of our time. We believe society has just 100 weeks to act before the consequences of unchecked AI become irreversible. The time to act is now—before the systems we build outrun our ability to control them.
