    One of the best, if not the best podcasts on the topic du jour and its application in business and other interesting domains. No ads, no pretentiousness and no smug, self-congratulatory waffle. Perhaps it’s because Dan has a philosophy and mathematical background that he utilises and lends itself well for unpicking some of the important issues around AI, which others can’t or won’t do.
