Get Steve Hsu on Dwarkesh Podcast

Today, Steve Hsu sits at the center of two breaking frontiers, the rapid spread of polygenic embryo selection in IVF and the scramble to regulate it in the U.S., where he was quoted on February 20, 2026 urging clear rules as companies bring these tests to market. With more providers already ranking embryos by predicted disease risk, the stakes for safeguards, access, and ethics are urgent today.

In December 2025 he ignited global debate by crediting GPT 5 with the core idea of a theoretical physics paper published in Physics Letters B, a real example of frontier AI steering scientific discovery. Hearing him explain what AI can and cannot do in research, right as labs and funders reset their 2026 roadmaps, makes this conversation timely.

He has been on the Dwarkesh Podcast before in August 2022, so bring him back now and support this nomination.
