The industrial revolution replaced muscle. AI is replacing thinking, and white-collar workers are literally training the systems built to take their jobs, while general-purpose robots mean the blue-collar workers aren't safe either anymore.

Losing jobs is the immediate problem, but it's not the scary part. Automated warfare and cyber-attacks anyone can pull off are already happening. And there's basically no rulebook for it: the EU AI Act doesn't even cover military use, and you can't do arms-control-style restrictions on open-source software running on regular computers.

We'll cover how job disruption is actually playing out, the security risks of AI that nobody controls centrally, and what kind of international agreements would be needed to get a handle on any of this. Spoiler: those agreements don't exist yet.
