Thinking with AI

Technology EN ↓ 1 episodes

Thinking with AI is a podcast about research, AI, and decision making. In each episode, Garvin Kruthof takes one question that matters - about AI, science, work, medicine, or society - and works it through in structured dialogue with a language model. The aim is not to let AI speak for us, and not to treat it as an authority. It is to use dialogue with AI as a way of clarifying ideas, testing assumptions, and making difficult questions more precise. This is not a podcast about what AI thinks. It is a podcast about how thinking changes when AI becomes part of the conversation.
