Unmasking AI with Dr. Karl Morris
This episode was supposed to be about opportunity...but it turned into something much bigger.
A conversation that quietly asks whether we’re actually prepared for the world we’re building—and who’s steering while it takes shape.
In this full-length episode of Your Move with Lori & Jett,we sit down with Dr. Karl Morris, computer science professor at Temple University and AI ethics researcher, for a deep, unsparing look at where artificial intelligence truly is right now. Not the hype. Not the tools. The underlying mechanics, incentives, and risks that most people never see—but are already living inside of.
What unfolds is a grounded, intellectually honest exploration of how AI systems actually learn, why even their creators don’t fully understand emergent behavior, and what happens when speed outpaces governance. They talk alignment problems, emotional manipulation, economic disruption, job vulnerability, and why “opting out” of AI is no longer a neutral choice. This isn’t fear-based—but it is sobering.
The episode closes where Your Move lives best: responsibility, agency, and the quiet ambition to engage with reality rather than avoid it.
In this episode, you’ll hear:
What AI really is (and why it’s not just “software”)
Why alignment is the unsolved problem in AI
How AI affects cognition, creativity, and emotional attachment
Which jobs are most vulnerable—and why context still matters
Why government competence is no longer optional
You’ll walk away thinking differently about:
Trusting systems you can’t fully interrogate
Using AI as an assistant, not an authority
Your role in shaping what comes next
Listen with curiosity. Stay awake. The move is already in motion.
