- What Does the Protagonist Do Now? with Sal Khan and Josh Tyrangiel
For our very first episode of Otherwise, we went big with two guests who know AI and social impact better than almost anyone. We talk with Khan Academy founder Sal Khan and journalist Josh Tyrangiel about what happens when a powerful new technology arrives and we have to decide what to do with it. Sal remembers the day OpenAI showed him GPT-4, and why, after years of waiting, he chose to build an AI tutor at Khan Academy. Josh, whose book AI for Good follows others facing that same decision at places like the IRS and Cleveland Clinic, explains what the successes had in common.

35 min - Introducing Otherwise
There's the AI future everyone expects. And then there's “Otherwise.”
"Otherwise" is a different kind of AI show. It’s about AI that makes the world a little better, and the people who built it that way. Fast Forward’s Kevin Barenblat and Nicole Davenport, who have spent the last decade helping nonprofits build mission-driven tech, sit down with some of their favorite people in the space to explore the choices behind AI’s future.
Our guests are people who ask not just what AI can do, but what it should do. They look at problems everyone else has accepted as inevitable, and decide the world can exist otherwise. We explore the experiences and convictions that make people question the default, and leave listeners wondering what they might build differently, too.Visit ffwd.org/otherwise to learn about Fast Forward and access related resources.
