Episode Notes:

Ankit sits down with Christopher David LaRoche, a Stanton Fellow in the Nuclear Policy Program at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace and an assistant professor of international relations at Central European University, to examine why AI’s leading figures so often reach for the nuclear weapon as their favorite analogy. They weigh what eight decades of nuclear governance can and cannot teach a very different technology, from non-proliferation and non-use to verification. They also argue that, as with nuclear weapons, the harder and more urgent work on AI is governing it at home before aiming for international frameworks.
