ABOUT THIS PODCAST 🔗
Unscripted with Jeff Pedowitz is a series of honest, long-form conversations with remarkable people from very different worlds: security and science, business and medicine, technology and the arts. The subject is artificial intelligence and where it's taking us, but every episode gets past the headlines to what these people actually think, have built, and have gotten wrong. AI is the focus for now. The bigger thread is the ideas, decisions, and people shaping what comes next.
