Can We Solve AI’s Alignment Problem?

October 5, 2026

Episode Description

AI Deep Dive is a show from The Information's TITV that gets to the bottom of the hardest technical problems in AI — the models, the research and the people building them. Hosted by our AI reporter, Rocket Drew.

Can an AI system do exactly what it was trained to do and still fail us? Rocket Drew joins UC Berkeley computer science professor Stuart Russell to explore where AI’s objectives come from, why human feedback can reward the wrong behavior, and the challenge of proving a powerful system is safe.
