Question 1 of 13 · Waymo robotaxi

Would you pay for a ride in a car with no driver?

You book it in an app, and a car with nobody in the driver's seat takes you there.

What’s actually happening

Waymo says anyone can download its app and ride in 12 US cities, including Los Angeles, Miami and Phoenix, and through Uber in Austin and Atlanta.

Waymo says that on most rides no one sits in the driver's seat; some cars carry a staff member who monitors the driving.

Question 2 of 13 · Glif's AI modeling agency

Answer question 1 first

Should brands be allowed to replace real models with AI ones in their ads?

Glif lets a brand cast an AI-generated model, add its product, and have Glif make the content.

What’s actually happening

Glif says brands can cast from hundreds of AI models, drop in a product or brief, and have Glif make the content end to end.

Question 3 of 13 · Block's “Meet Dessa”

Answer question 2 first

Should an AI voice have to say it's an AI at the start of every call, even when that makes it less useful?

Block says Dessa, its new AI voice, was trained from scratch on human conversation.

What’s actually happening

Block's announcement doesn't say whether Dessa tells people it's an AI.

Question 4 of 13 · ElevenLabs voice cloning

Answer question 3 first

Should cloning someone's voice without their permission be illegal, even for parody?

Voice cloning copies someone's voice from a short recording, so the copy can say anything you type.

What’s actually happening

ElevenLabs' own page says cloning someone else's voice requires their explicit consent.

Question 5 of 13 · Adobe Firefly Video

Answer question 4 first

Should AI tools have to train only on work they have the rights to, even if that makes them worse?

Adobe says it trained its Firefly video model only on licensed and public-domain content.

What’s actually happening

Adobe launched the Firefly Video model on February 12, 2025.

Adobe says it never trains its Firefly models on its customers' content.

Question 6 of 13 · Salesforce's AI support agents

Answer question 5 first

Should companies be free to replace customer-service workers with AI?

Salesforce's CEO says AI agents now handle half of its customer-support conversations.

What’s actually happening

Salesforce told Fortune it no longer refills support engineer jobs because its AI agents cut the number of support cases, and that it moved hundreds of staff into other roles.

Fortune reported that Salesforce's support costs had fallen 17% since around the start of 2025.

The other side: Klarna, which made the same shift in 2024, began hiring human agents again in May 2025; its CEO now calls AI support “the cheap customer service.” CX Dive

Question 7 of 13 · Shop Pay “Allow agent to pay for me”

Answer question 6 first

Would you let an AI agent shop for you without asking first, within a budget?

An optional Shop Pay setting lets your AI agent buy things without asking you each time, within a budget you set.

Who pays if it gets it wrong? You do. Shop says you're responsible for purchases inside the budget you set, even if the agent misunderstands your instructions.

What’s actually happening

Shop says that by default a connected agent prepares the checkout so you can review and approve every purchase.

Paying without asking is an optional setting, capped by your budget, and you can turn it off at any time.

Meta says its own agent, Muse, checks with you before sensitive actions like making a purchase.

Question 8 of 13 · Kimi K3.1 Pro

Answer question 7 first

Should anyone be able to download and run the most powerful AI models?

Moonshot AI, a Chinese company, lets anyone download Kimi K3.1 Pro and run it themselves; that's called open weights.

Is “open” the same as free for anything? Mostly: anyone can use, change and sell it, but a company that sells access to it and makes over $20 million a year needs a separate deal with Moonshot.

What’s actually happening

Moonshot calls Kimi K3.1 Pro its most capable model of its size, built on Kimi K3, whose weights it released in July 2026.

Moonshot said Kimi K3 still trailed the most powerful closed models from Anthropic and OpenAI.

Reuters reported that most people are unlikely to run a model this large themselves, because the hardware costs so much.

The other side: The International AI Safety Report, led by Yoshua Bengio, warns that once weights are public there is no way to roll back every copy or make sure each one gets safety updates. International AI Safety Report 2025

Question 9 of 13 · Slaughterbots

Answer question 8 first

Should weapons that kill without a human deciding be banned or strictly limited worldwide?

A short film imagines autonomous weapons: machines that pick out and kill people with no human deciding.

Is this real footage? No. It's a 2017 film from the Future of Life Institute, made to warn against these weapons.

What’s actually happening

Real systems already chase targets on their own. Anduril says its Anvil interceptor flies itself to an enemy drone, then a human operator confirms the target and authorizes the strike.

There is still no treaty on autonomous weapons. In November 2026, campaigners were still asking countries to start negotiating one.

Question 10 of 13 · Mark Zuckerberg, “The Future is for Everyone”

Answer question 9 first

Will AI make most people's lives much better within a few decades?

Meta's CEO argues that giving every person their own powerful AI will spread prosperity widely.

What’s actually happening

Zuckerberg published the 6,500-word essay on Meta's website on August 10, 2026.

He writes that people will have to adapt as work changes, and that “this will be challenging.”

Question 11 of 13 · AI 2027

Answer question 10 first

Will AI that's better than humans at almost everything arrive within the next ten years?

A team of forecasters wrote a month-by-month story of AI becoming superhuman, better than the best humans at almost everything, around 2027.

What’s actually happening

The authors say 2027 was their single most likely year when they published in April 2025, and that their median guesses were later.

In July 2025 they pushed their median back by a year and a half, while keeping 2027 as a serious possibility.

Question 12 of 13 · OpenAI's training pause

Answer question 11 first

Should AI labs have to pause building more powerful models until shared safety rules exist?

In August 2026, OpenAI paused some training of its newest models for two weeks while it tightened its own safety checks.

What’s actually happening

OpenAI says it paused after finding that an upcoming model, Astra, may have reached the “Critical” level of hacking ability in its own safety framework.

It says its largest planned training run stays on hold until it has more evidence that the model behaves as intended.

The pause was voluntary; Max Tegmark, who chairs the Future of Life Institute, said a pause the government “can neither verify nor enforce isn't enough.”

Question 13 of 13 · If Anyone Builds It, Everyone Dies

Answer question 12 first

Should building AI smarter than humans be banned until we know how to control it?

Eliezer Yudkowsky and Nate Soares argue that if anyone builds superintelligence, AI smarter than humans, with today's methods, everyone dies.

Is this proven? No. It's the authors' argument, made as a public warning, not a proven fact.

What’s actually happening

The book was published on September 16, 2025.

The authors write that superintelligence “doesn't exist yet, and its creation can yet be prevented.”

                                    How we built this

                                    Every card is a real product, film, letter or book. Each fact in “What’s actually happening” links to the page it came from, and where a number or result is the company’s own claim, the card says so.

                                    Your camp comes from fixed rules, the same for everyone. Each camp takes a side on the questions it cares about, the way its best-known voices argue, and some sides count double because they define the camp. Your match with a camp is the share of those sides you picked. Your camp is your closest match; if no camp reaches 70%, you’re a Pragmatist. If two camps match equally, you get the one that takes more sides, and any camp within 10 points of yours is named as a close second. Close calls are common: one changed answer can change your camp.
