    I have been following the AI conversation for about one year. I am not a tech expert so it’s been difficult to understand everything I hear. This podcast does an incredibly effective job of taking a complex and divisive issue and making it understandable. John is a great host, combining whit and intellect to bring this issue to light. Thanks for making this happen!

  • Provocative

    A solid start to a provocative series. Almost like meta-analysis of the best current thinking on this topic, that’s very access to lay people like me. Definitely has my concern up. I am looking forward to seeing where John takes this in future episodes…
