AI GeneratedThe speaker discusses the existential risks of AI and the inability of markets to price the \"end of humanity.\" Instead, the focus shifts to how markets react to AI's impact on labor and the urgent need for coordinated global regulation, citing concerns over rogue agents and autonomous drones in conflict zones.

Okay, so we got about two minutes to talk about the end of humanity. So no
pressure. Look, we can't deal with the actual issues that he raised,
obviously, and markets for sure cannot price the end of humanity. That's not
going to happen. What they can price, though, is potentially the sort of
regulation that I think these warnings are really pointing to. The idea that AI
will be a disaster for workers or even some companies where it'll be
existential has been through markets and has been a factor. Even this week, again,
we saw software stocks falling very sharply on the latest OpenAI Astra
model that was released. But, you know, this is much bigger than that. This is
going back to some of those scare stories that we heard earlier in
the year that, you know, within two or three years, there would be global
depression because everyone would be out of work. You know, that piece of
research went viral in the spring. But I do think what they are indicating more
than anything else is there needs to be coordinated and significant regulation
around the rollout of this. And Reuters reporting again today that OpenAI's
rogue agents have been in many areas, yet again, ones that weren't even suspected.
So the UN, just to add to the scare stories, the UN earlier this week,
raising a red flag over the use of fully autonomous drones in front lines of
many conflicts. Now, that is truly scary and maybe does speak very, in real
terms, to what sort of things the Anthropic employee was talking about.
But regulation is where markets will look for a reaction to this. And how
likely is that in the geopolitical world that we're in at the moment?
