People are forming bonds with AI. Finding creative collaborators they did not expect. Processing their lives in conversations that surprise them. The public debate can only see the danger in that, and it is producing bad policy, bad products, and bad advice to the people actually living it. We sit with both sides. The wonder and the risk. Three of us, from three directions, arguing the nuance.
These are our own frameworks, not a generic AI talk. Tell us your audience and we will shape the session around them.

Podcasts, documentary, broadcast, and written commentary.
