kill switch - Podcast Rankings and reviews

This is also the only podcast I’ve listened to more than once—so thoughtfully researched and organized, incredible expert sources and interviewees, never dooms-day-ish or alternatively extolling the unequivocal good of “progress.” It’s A brilliant investigation of the next frontiers of AI as well as the consequences of innovation (both good and bad), accessible for those new to the topic but also incredibly insightful for those who are already well versed.

The hosts’—Karah and Oz’s—dynamic is another reason to keep coming back. Both so funny and intelligent and natural.

Five stars.

This is a very well made show with alarming content. It deals thoughtfully with some of the many issues that AI raises. From job loss due to automation to facial recognition enabling a police state to the dangers of power concentration in companies such as Amazon, this series considers some concerning possibilities.

Love the themes explored in each episode, the intersection of AI/tech development and all sorts of potential impacts it may have on humanity is just fascinating. I love that they explore both potential alarming risks, as well as opportunities for AI to have positive impacts. For some topics that may feel so far removed from our every day life, their ability to make all of the content so intriguing is quite impressive. I’m to the point of repeating episodes.

Just listened to “Bots to Date for Us.” I love her honesty and open uncomfortableness with the tech. She’s not making the inventor, I forget his name, feel good just because he’s a guest. She’s honest and this is the journalism we need. Hosts don’t have to love every idea and glorify every guest. Sometimes your gut reaction is best. I’m impressed
