If it’s entertaining, controversial, or a mix of both, you will hear it on the Joe Rogan Experience podcast. Joe Rogan, the vision behind the podcast, is no stranger to controversial opinions. His willingness to tackle them head-on has made him one of the most influential voices in media today. One of Rogan’s favorite topics to talk about is AI.

Artificial Intelligence has been a hot topic lately. Rogan has always been vocal about the potential threats that AI poses to humanity. From deep fake videos and ChatGPT to robotic experiments and other new AI inventions, Rogan always has something to say about it. In his recent podcast episode, the 55-year-old came across a video from China that left him baffled.

Joe Rogan reacts to an AI “experiment” in China

Dave Smith was the guest on the Joe Rogan Experience podcast #1977. Dave Smith is a popular stand-up comedian, podcaster, and political commentator. As the podcast was winding down, Smith showed Rogan a video on Instagram that depicted ‘AI experiments’ on students in China. The video showed a school using AI technology to calculate students’ concentration levels.

Moreover, AI technology also tracked students’ locations, kept a check on how many times they viewed their phones, and assessed the smallest of actions they made. The video left Rogan in shock. The UFC commentator also expressed concerns about the sheer rise in the use of AI technology to regulate human actions.

“They are gonna kill us! They are gonna dominate”, said Rogan, after taking a 5-second pause to comprehend what he had seen in the video. However, Smith had a different take on this. He quickly pointed out that the video might be an experiment happening in just one of the many schools there. He also suggested that it is important to take such videos with a grain of salt and not jump to conclusions.

“I am always a little bit skeptical of some of these things. Is this just like one random school is doing it this way in China and this is like a little experiment?”

What is your take on the matter? Do you think China is heading in the right direction? Or do you believe letting AI assess humans and access human data will eventually be dangerous? Tell us in the comments below.
