The New York Times opinion section is promoting a new 'Interesting Times' podcast episode featuring philosopher Nick Bostrom, described as Silicon Valley's favorite prophet, in conversation with Spencer Klavan. Bostrom, whose work on existential risk and superintelligence shaped much of the AI debate, is offering a fresh warning about the technology's trajectory.

Why now: Bostrom remains a central figure in debates over AI risk, and a new warning from him draws attention amid ongoing concern about artificial intelligence.
