Is AI Already Biased? Who’s Really Programming Your Future? | The Karel Cast

Yesterday

Is AI Already Biased? Who’s Really Programming Your Future? | The Karel Cast

Can artificial intelligence ever be truly neutral, or is it already reflecting the beliefs, priorities, and agendas of the people and governments building it?

AI is growing at an astonishing pace, but someone is teaching it how to think. Tech companies, programmers, regulators, and now governments are all helping shape the future of artificial intelligence. As AI becomes more deeply connected to politics, business, and society, one question becomes impossible to ignore: Can we trust AI to be objective?

Today, Karel explores how AI is trained, why bias may be unavoidable, and whether artificial intelligence is becoming the world’s most powerful influence—or simply another reflection of human flaws.

Also on today’s show:

🕗 The House has passed legislation to make Daylight Saving Time permanent. If the Senate approves it and President Trump signs it, what would that actually mean for your daily life? Are Americans ready for winter sunrises approaching 8:00 AM?

⚖️ Plus, a television series sparks a bigger conversation: Do women truly receive equal justice under the law, or does the legal system still treat them differently?

Join the conversation live and share your thoughts in the comments.

This time on Code WACK!

In the United States, as many as 30 million people are affected by eating disorders, including many children and adolescents, according to Johns Hopkins Medicine. Eating disorders are serious mental health conditions that affect both mental and physical health.

How well does our corporate healthcare system respond to illnesses as complex as eating disorders? What happens when an insurance company decides treatment is costing too much, and pressures a patient to go home? Can your insurer really cut off coverage? And what if that decision turns out to be not just wrong, but catastrophic?

This is part one of a two-part episode.

Green News Report 7/14/2026 by Progressive Voices

Trump’s Thursday Speech: New 2020 Election Claims, Democracy Fears & The Satellite Company That Could Change Earth Forever

President Donald Trump is preparing a major national address Thursday night centered on newly declassified intelligence and renewed claims about the 2020 election. Reports indicate he plans to discuss alleged foreign interference and voting machine vulnerabilities, despite years of investigations, audits, and court rulings finding no evidence that foreign interference changed the outcome of the 2020 election.

What could this speech mean for the future of American elections? Could it become part of a broader push for new federal election laws, including proof-of-citizenship voting proposals? And what role will Congress and the courts play if constitutional questions arise?

Then, a story almost no one is talking about: Reflect Orbital. The startup wants to beam sunlight to Earth from space. Is it a technological breakthrough…or the beginning of a future with permanently illuminated skies, environmental consequences, and unintended risks?

Join Karel as he breaks down the day’s biggest political and science stories with history, context, and analysis you won’t hear anywhere else.

Brad is first joined by Charlie Cook, Founder of the 'Cook Political Report,' to analyze the contentious #Senate races in #Maine and #Michigan. They also breakdown the races in the upper chamber for Ohio, Georgia, North Carolina and more.

Then, Mabinty Quarshie, White House Reporter for the Washington Examiner, reports on President Trump’s turbulent turn at the NATO summit in Turkey.

She also explains why if Trump wants to help his party ahead of the midterm elections, his restarting of the Iran war last week is the wrong move.
