Electric Sheep is a longform podcast about artificial intelligence — and what it is doing to us. Create by Badri Raghavan, a senior AI executive and physicist who has spent decades building real-world AI systems, Electric Sheep explores how modern algorithms are reshaping healthcare, work, identity, and care itself. This isn’t hype. And it isn’t panic. Each episode sits inside the real tensions of applied AI: models that diagnose disease, digital agents that “listen” to patients at 2 a.m., systems that can sound more empathetic than doctors — and the social, clinical, and ethical conse

Continuing to explore Healthcare Ai and its implications from different angles, I just published my latest essay. By the time I’m old enough for the senior menu, my android co-author will almost certainly have followed me home. Right now, that “android” is just a large language model in the cloud that helps me write. Fast-forward a couple of decades and systems like it will likely be: * listening...

88 % of AI pilots die. Here's how the other 12% survive in healthcare 16.01.2026

Most of my worst AI product ideas started in very pretty rooms. Innovation hubs. AI labs. Cool POC demos. I assumed that if we built impressive pilots, the rest of the organization would just get it and turn them into products. They didn’t. Thus my latest 𝗘𝗹𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗿𝗶𝗰 𝗦𝗵𝗲𝗲𝗽 post: 𝟴𝟴% 𝗼𝗳 𝗔𝗜 𝗣𝗶𝗹𝗼𝘁𝘀 𝗗𝗶𝗲. 𝗛𝗲𝗿𝗲’𝘀 𝗛𝗼𝘄 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗢𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿 𝟭𝟮% 𝗦𝘂𝗿𝘃𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝗶𝗻 𝗛𝗲𝗮𝗹𝘁𝗵𝗰𝗮𝗿𝗲. It’s a field report from decades of building AI produ...

Blood, breath and bits 12.01.2026

“Blood, Breath, and Bits: How AI is learning the language of the body”This one is about the convergence I’m seeing up close:·       We’re now surrounded by continuous data about our bodies and lives – sleep, heart rhythms, breathing, glucose, movement, even how we speak and type.·       New foundation models based on sensor data (think “LLMs, but trained on EEG/ECG/respiration instead of text”) ar...
