About this episode

In this episode of the News Items podcast, Josh Tyrangiel joins John Ellis for a wide-ranging conversation about the promises, dangers, and strange human realities of artificial intelligence. Drawing from his new book, AI for Good, Tyrangiel argues that the most important breakthroughs in AI are not happening inside Silicon Valley boardrooms, but among stubborn doctors, educators, and public servants quietly trying to solve impossible problems. The discussion moves from Palantir Technologies and Operation Warp Speed to the modernization of the IRS, AI tutors in classrooms, and new tools helping doctors reduce burnout and improve patient care. Along the way, Tyrangiel explores the political future of AI, the collapse of public trust in institutions, and why the next generation of leaders may be judged less on ideology than on whether they can understand (and govern) the most powerful technology of the century.
