What we cover

AI is already inside everything.

What’s inside is still a mystery. Every conversation opens it up through one of four lenses.

  1. 01

    Designed

    Who decides what AI becomes?

  2. 02

    Engineered

    How is it actually built?

  3. 03

    Interpreted

    What do its answers really mean?

  4. 04

    Applied

    Where does AI enter our lives?

Episode 001
