Megyn Kelly

AI position

Aware of x-risk

Commentary focuses on deepfakes, voice and likeness misuse, trust in media and the difficulty of authenticating political information; no broad economic AI framework is apparent.

Hosted a 2021 episode explicitly framed around Bostrom's "superintelligence" and existential danger ("The Benefits and Dangers of Artificial Intelligence," Ep. 151), but her more recent AI coverage (2025-2026) centers on chatbot harms, deepfakes, and OpenAI lawsuits rather than recurring x-risk commentary.
