Good morning!! 🌞😎 hope you all enjoyed a weekend in the sunshine…

After the football this weekend (Champions League) I had a thought… there isn’t a great sports podcasts (daily) discussing all top stories, gossip, and analysis. Who knows, maybe there is one coming soon?! ⚽

Anyway, on to this week, we are kicking of with an AI special, featuring a number of podcasts on the latest developments in AI. I also wanted to share this article, by Marc Andreesen on ‘Why AI Will Save the World’ - a fascinating insight into how AI will be a force for positive change.

The AI Breakdown: Daily Artificial Intelligence News and Discussions

A daily news analysis show on all things artificial intelligence. NLW looks at AI from multiple angles, from the explosion of creativity brought on by new tools like Midjourne, ChatGPT to the potential disruptions to work and industries as we know them to the great philosophical, ethical and practical questions of advanced general intelligence, alignment and x-risk.

Possible (Ep: Reflections on AI)

Possible is a new podcast that sketches out the brightest version of the future—and what it will take to get there. Most of all, it asks: what if, in the future, everything breaks humanity's way? Hosted by Reid Hoffman and Aria Finger, each episode features an interview with a visionary from a different field: climate science, media, criminal justice, and more. The conversation also features another kind of guest: GPT-4.
