Episode 00: Welcome to Open MAInd

Welcome to Open MAInd — the podcast exploring artificial intelligence with an open mind.

In this first episode, your hosts Alex and Jordan introduce the show, the mission, and the journey ahead. AI is reshaping economies, geopolitics, societies, and industries simultaneously — and most of the conversation around it lives in one of two camps: blind excitement or blind fear. Open MAInd exists to offer something different.

In this episode we cover:

— How AI began: from Alan Turing’s 1950 thought experiment to the birth of the field in 1956

— The breakthroughs that changed everything: deep learning, AlphaGo, AlphaFold, and ChatGPT

— Why AI is a general-purpose technology unlike anything before it

— What the economic, geopolitical and social implications really mean for all of us

— What’s coming in future episodes
