Jason and Jeff are both veteran podcasters and tech pundits with great chemistry. Every week they take a high-level view of AI and the tech industry as a whole, completely devoid of hyperbole or BS. This show should have a lot more attention.
Always insightful along with some amazing interviews
Jason and Jeff use their vast networks to gather news about AI, well, inside <grin> so many aspects of technology and our lives. The two of them have a great rapport and both are seasoned interviewers. The interviews on the AI Inside podcast are with thought leaders looking not only at the now but future possibilities, future risks, and requirements to succeed in this rapidly evolving space. I also deeply appreciate the insights the two of them bring, along with their interview guests, in journalism, creative endeavors, and so many other areas that are not always looked at deeply by other podcasts and journalists I follow. Lastly, the two of them work very hard to be current in this field. I admire the time they spend and appreciate them “filling us in” as the audience. Highly recommended!

Informative and entertaining
Jason and Jeff do a great job of keeping us up to date on the latest AI news. They are not necessarily self professed experts but stay one step ahead of the audience. The podcast is a great way to say in the know about AI without getting so deep you get lost.
Fantastic Approach to AI
I currently listen to three other AI shows, but I believe Inside AI offers the most comprehensive and informative perspective on the subject. They conduct balanced and in-depth discussions on the implications of AI, presenting well-researched arguments about its ever-evolving nature, often even acknowledging its limitations. Their show frequently features expert guests in the field of AI, which helps to bring the complex topic to life. I’m a big fan and thoroughly enjoyed their recent interview with Yann LeCun (which I had to listen to twice due to its complexity and insight). Keep up the excellent work! I’m confident you’ll continue to deliver high-quality content.
