This is “No Priors”

Conviction
About this episode

AI is transforming our future, but what does that really mean? In ten years, will humans be forced to please our AGI overlords or will we have unlocked unlimited capacity for human potential?

That's why Sarah Guo and Elad Gil started this new podcast, named No Priors. In each episode, Sarah and Elad talk with the leading engineers, researchers and founders in AI, across the stack. We'll talk about the technical state of the art, how that impacts business, and get them to predict what's next.

Follow the podcast wherever you listen so you never miss an episode. We’ll see you next week with a new episode. Email feedback to show@no-priors.com
