Will AI kill us? Probably not today. But something important is happening.
Will AI Kill Us? is a daily AI news podcast following the rapidly changing race to build artificial intelligence, without the breathless hype. Each episode looks for what actually changed in the last 24 hours and asks why it matters.
We follow OpenAI and ChatGPT, Anthropic and Claude, Google Gemini, xAI, Meta, Nvidia and the companies building the infrastructure behind the AI boom.
But this isn't another roundup of every new model, feature and viral demo. We focus on the bigger story: AI agents acting with increasing autonomy, frontier-model safety and control, the enormous investment in chips and data centers, the economics of AI, and the accelerating shift from chatbots to agents capable of doing real work.
When something goes wrong, we'll separate an actual AI safety incident from the inevitable “AI has escaped!” headlines. When billions are poured into AI infrastructure, we'll ask whether the economics make sense. And when everyone is panicking about the latest development, we'll look at what the evidence actually says.
Real news. Smart analysis. A clearer tomorrow. New episodes as the AI story changes.

OpenAI Says ChatGPT Search Is One-Fifth the Size of Google's. Should We Believe It?
OpenAI's consumer product lead claims ChatGPT now handles roughly 20% of the search volume Google does. We look at what that number actually means, who's saying it, and why a single-source company claim isn't the same thing as proof.
