Description

Welcome to Preparing for AI.  Exploring everything AI through a China-US lens. 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 4 we are looking at everything AI from the dual persectives of China and the US. Not just the arms race between the two nations but also the different approaches to models, to integration, to regulation and the differences in the way it affects these two societies. Your hosts are China based, but brought up in the West so we bring a unique nuanced persepective.

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

Send us Fan Mail Even in the internet era we used to search, compare, and make up our own minds. Now we can ask an AI one question and get a confident answer that feels final, even when it is biased, incomplete, or simply made up. Critical thinking is one of the crisis of our age (yet another one?!) and we need to take it seriously: not as contrarian scepticism, but as the disciplined habit of testing claims, noticing our own assumptions, and asking the uncomfortable question, “What wou...
Send us Fan Mail Something has shifted: AI no longer feels like a clever tool we can choose to adopt, it feels like a system being imposed on everyday life. Matt's think's we are already over the cliff edge, Jimmy thinks we are a few steps away. We dig into why the backlash is surfacing now, why it is showing up in public opinion data, and why it is getting loudest among the people who are supposed to be “digital natives”. When graduates boo big tech speakers, or Gen Z romanticise dumb phones...
