  • One of My Favorites

    This has quickly become one of my favorite podcasts and the latest episode, with Doug Abrams, was the absolute panacea to a difficult week here in the U.S. I really do find both wisdom *and* action in this podcast and it inspires me and allows me to see and feel a bigger picture. Thank you so much! Keep doing what you do!

Trust & "Responsible AI” with Lisa Talia Moretti
Q: What are the immediate problem sets we need to address with AI and policy?
The panel stresses prioritizing problem-centric use of AI, aligning AI deployment with human values, and building governance and education to support transparent, responsible adoption rather than rushing in with technology alone.
Being human in the age of AI
Q: How would you articulate a positive vision for the next generation, especially to teenagers, in a secular, universal way?
Nipun suggests starting from universal human values—kindness, curiosity, love—and demonstrating that leadership is about serving the collective, not about personal attainment. He emphasizes experiential learning in small circles of care and the idea that children naturally resonate with love and belonging, which can be nurtured through everyday acts and community practices.
Human Fracking, AI, and the Capture of Attention with D. Graham Burnett
Q: What does it mean to fight 'fire with fire' in the context of AI and system change?
It means leveraging the same tools and platforms that create problems to promote solutions, but with a theory of change that emphasizes ethics, inclusivity, and the long-term health of attention and democracy.
‘Truth, Trust and Transparency’ with Facebook whistleblower Frances Haugen
Q: What does the under-16 social media ban mean in practice and how might it influence global policy?
Frances explains the practical implications of restricting under-16 access, emphasizing child safety, the need for pausing and redesigning systems, and the potential for data-driven policy to inform governance worldwide.
‘Truth, Trust and Transparency’ with Facebook whistleblower Frances Haugen
Q: So happy you're here. Can you give us a window into what you're working on at the moment?
