Preparing for AI: The AI Podcast for Everybody

Welcome to Preparing for AI. The AI podcast for everybody. We explore the human and social impacts of AI, diving deep into how AI now intersects with everything from Politics to Relgion and Economics to Health.

In series 1 we looked at the impact of AI on specific industries, sustainability and the latest developments of Large Lanaguage Models.

In series 2 we delved more into the importance of AI safety and the potentially catastrophic future we are headed to. We explored AI in China, the latest news and developments and our predictions for the future.

In series 3 we are diving deep into wider society, themese like economics, religions and healthcare. How do these interest with AI and how are they going to shape our future? We also do a monthly news update looking at the AI stories we've been interested in that might not have been picked up in mainstream media.
