"ProHuman: Governing the Global AI Revolution" is a policy-focused podcast produced by Foreign Policy and the Future of Life Institute that tackles the urgent question of how humanity can govern artificial intelligence before it governs us. Each episode pairs an expert briefing on a pressing AI safety or governance issue with an in-depth conversation led by a rotating cast of "featured hosts"—all members of The Elders, including former heads of state like Juan Manuel Santos and Mary Robinson—interviewing top AI scientists, safety researchers, and policy leaders such as Stuart Russell and Yoshua Bengio. The show blends geopolitical analysis with technical AI safety concepts, exploring themes like international safety standards, red lines for dangerous AI behavior, cybersecurity threats from advanced models, and the need for coordinated global regulation. Its tone is serious, urgent, and intellectually rigorous, aimed at policymakers, technologists, journalists, and engaged citizens who want to understand the real-world stakes of AI development beyond hype or fear-mongering. What distinguishes this podcast is its unique format of combining elder statecraft diplomacy with cutting-edge AI expertise, making complex governance challenges accessible while emphasizing actionable international cooperation.
