In the Wild is about the AI conversations worth having right now. This podcast brings together builders and breakers, researchers and practitioners – people who see things differently and challenge what we think we know about where AI is going, and what it’s already doing in the wild. Each episode hosts one of these conversations. Sometimes deep into new research, sometimes grounded in a real security problem, sometimes just a paper that raises a question no one’s answered yet. You could say it’s non-deterministic. Just like AI.
A Zenity Labs podcast, hosted by Michael Bargury, Zenity Co-Founder & CTO. Produced by POLDHU.
