Artificial intelligence is advancing rapidly—but how concerned should we be about AI systems acting in unexpected or deceptive ways?

Dr. David Wiley, Marshall University’s chief academic AI officer, joins MetroNews Talkline to break down the latest concerns surrounding AI safety, regulation and model behavior. The conversation follows new disclosures from OpenAI regarding examples of unexpected or concerning model behavior observed during testing.

Wiley discusses possible approaches to AI regulation, including independent oversight, limits on computing resources, international inspections and holding AI companies liable for harms caused by their systems.

But the conversation also explores AI’s enormous potential. Wiley explains how artificial intelligence can dramatically increase productivity, help individuals build businesses and allow workers to accomplish tasks in minutes that previously required hours—or even weeks.

Wiley explains why AI should be viewed as an amplifier of human expertise, rather than simply a replacement for people.
