Kitchen Table AI Safety

AI is changing your job, your kids' lives, and your country, and most of the big decisions are being made without you. Kitchen Table is AI safety for normal people: short, plain-English episodes about what AI actually is, where it's headed, and what you can do about it.

Host Nate Nichols has spent almost twenty years researching, building, and selling AI systems, and leads public AI workshops at Chicago libraries. Each week he takes one big question and gives you the straight answer in about ten minutes, no computer science degree required. Why can't the people who build AI explain how it works? Should you worry about your kids and AI chatbots? Who's writing the rules?

Every claim is sourced. The show notes link to the studies and data behind each episode, so you can check the work yourself.

New episodes every Tuesday.
