Keep up the good work covering everything from technical papers to geo-politics and security. All of this is essential to understanding the world of AI as it is unfolding. I know many of those listening appreciate the depth and breadth of topics covered. You guys are smart, funny and so well informed — it’s very enjoyable to listen and learn. Thanks!

You guys continue to do an amazing job discussing important AI developments. Having subject matter experts deliver this level of depth and breadth is a real treat. The deep dives into technical papers is a great way to build familiarity with the rapid advances in AI research. Keep discussing all of the categories, even policy, for a well-balanced AI diet.

I really enjoy the show. They cover all sorts of topics on AI, though Jeremie seems a bit too preoccupied with single-handedly preventing an AI apocalypse. My only gripe? Every episode, without fail, Andrei announces “onto the lightning round,” only to dive into a segment that’s just as detailed as the rest.

Really great show that goes into in-depth technical detail far beyond what main-stream media gives. I especially love the deep dives that Jeremy gives that help give more context when they are reviewing recent AI publications. PS - I appreciate the geo-political content. Some other reviewers have said that they don’t, but I think knowing what policies different countries are implementing with regards to AI and what outcome you think those policies might produce is useful.

Amazing content from Jeremie and Andrei about technical advancements in AI and their impacts to society! The real icing on the cake for me though is the discussion on geopolitics, hardware, and China in particular. I feel Jeremie has a unique take on this - and we often don’t see this key perspective covered, while most of us do read technical papers, often the broader societal implications are missing. Also love Andreis contributions on exhaustively understanding the literature and his interests in art and video and content creation brings a nice viewpoint. I hope to see more such awesome content, and congrats in advance on the baby Jeremie :) From another dad- taking care of a baby is hard work but extremely rewarding as you are focused on this one basic task - (unless you bring an AI robot into the mix ;))

This podcast strikes the perfect balance of practical education, technical deep dive, and humor, making it both useful and productive. Please do stick with geopolitics; it should absolutely continue to be a staple. I’m seriously amazed by how much you both know. It does comes off as genius. Do you sit around reading papers all day every day? Keep at it!

"Last Week in AI" is my go-to for staying on top of the latest in artificial intelligence. Hosts Andrey Kurenkov and Jeremie Harris have a knack for making even the most complex AI topics digestible and engaging. Whether they're breaking down cutting-edge research or diving into the ethical implications of AI, the podcast keeps me both informed and entertained. The YouTube channel is a nice complement, though I have to admit Andrey doesn’t look quite like I imagined! Adding some visual elements, like displaying the headlines they're discussing, could really elevate the experience. As part of my balanced AI news diet—alongside "This Day in AI" and "AI for Humans"—this podcast is a five-star must. And Jeremie, if you're reading, how about showing some more love to moms on the show? They deserve it! Written with ChatGPT

Half of every episode now is how we need more AI regulation, more risk mitigation, more focus on safety. Feels like classic fear mongering applied to AI. Really miss the research overviews/analysis. Also tired of all the SB1047 cheerleading.

I really enjoy this podcast. Jeremey, keep on explaining ai architecture and papers! This is one of the few podcasts that actually explains the “nitty-gritty” details of the software and hardware in AI. I personally would prefer less geopolitical stuff (us+china) but overall this is a great podcast

I love this podcast!

the most substantive ai podcast out there

You guys are my heroes. I've spent a lot of time listening to different podcasts in an effort to stay on top of AI news. After months of jumping around, I settled on this and the Super Data Science podcast (before they were sponsors). I've since stopped listening to SDS for lack of time, and now this is all I listen to and all I feel I need to stay on top of AI news. Does Jeremy occasionally dive down a rabbit hole of technical jargon that many of us don't understand? Maybe once in a blue moon. But he’s also a genius and hilarious (you both are). The podcast is fun, easy to listen to, and super informative. Thanks for all you do. I imagine it takes a lot of effort to sift through and summarize the week’s AI news. Know that it is appreciated. You guys rock!

Informative, dense with informative news & analysis, and highly entertaining with the Goldilocks ‘just right’ amount of doom. :)

Always enjoy listening to you both! Great content, wondering if you can also touch on AI products and how these models play into it. Recent kick starter: Plaud is gaining traction and make you ask the question, do you jump in with their partnership with open ai or wait out till Claude catches up? Thanks keep up the great content!

amid this uncertan moment in history, each week they deliver two hours of news, with a degre of enthusiasom, levety and off the cuff insight emblomatic of a lifetime of expertice. thank you Jeremy and Andre for creating one of the richest AI knoloage flows in my life

I hugely appreciate all that you two do to bring awareness to AI safety issues. Personally, I don’t want to die in an apocalypse anytime soon. By bringing awareness to risks, you increase the chances that those risks will be addressed in time.

Hey guys, love your show. I have two places to listen to your podcast. One is Apple and one is Audible. I’d love it if you added your podcast to audible - not sure how hard that is.

Oh boy. It’s reasonable content but for a couple of super smart guys I think you could up level the audio quality of the podcast. Several incidents: echo, static, inconsistent sound (speaker sounds far away, then later closer to mic). This was almost exclusively on the Jeremie side.

More AI Doom Please

Less AI doom please ❤️

I know of no better round up for AI news and research. Full as a tick by the end of the show. But you should let Jeremy know you can’t make a silk purse out of a sow’s ear. Maybe he has some points but overall Leopold’s 165 page thesis is a hot mess. He's the type that thinks the sun comes up just to hear him crow. You Can’t Make A Silk Purse Out Of A Sow’s Ear You Can’t Make A Silk Purse Out Of A Sow’s Ear You Can’t Make A Silk Purse Out Of A Sow’s Ear

Great show but need to get rid of the safety grift co host. Nobody wants to listen to his ridiculous safety takes and angles.

Detailed info discussed in understandable way.

Last Week in Ai is fantastic! You and Jeremy have struck a unique balance between covering Ai news weekly and diving more deeply than other Ai podcasts do. You provide information not sensationalist fluff. Please encourage Jeremy to continue his deeper dive reactions to the nuts and bolts of emerging developments. Please don’t switch to a once a day format. That is much too often. The weekly release is much more useful. If you become a daily podcast you will run out of things to discuss and burn yourself out. Also I’d say that if you want to get sponsors that need not kill your creative control or current format. Your present model is what sets Last Week in Ai apart. Thank you for all your hard work!

The podcasters are knowledgeable, and do a decent job covering the latest AI news. The podcast website is great, with links to the news and research items they cover. Even though the podcasts are long (there’s a lot happening!), they’re worthwhile, and the podcast info includes timing info so you can find things that interested you (or skip things that might not). My only complaint is that the podcasters are a bit credulous. It would be refreshing if they occasionally looked at what critics like Gary Marcus or the folks at DAIR have to say.

If you have a host with a verbal tic in which he says “right?” every other sentence, I’m not listening. Can’t take it.

This is a great podcast for getting the most engaging summary of AI related news. The hosts do a great job of breaking down complex concepts and keeping it entertaining.

I enjoy this podcast a lot. Highly recommended. And on a side note - hope to meet in Basel today or tomorrow.

Hi! I’m an AI product manager so I need to stay up to date with everything that goes one and your podcast is one of my main news vehicles. Love the detail and insights. Only two feedback: less repetition from Jeremy as I feel he repeats what Andrew says right after he says it.. and I would appreciate if you guys also brought in insights into complementary apps for generative ai as I focus a lot on RAG given open source models aren’t production-useable so I have to augment closed source.

A must-listen podcast to stay informed about AI developments and learn a ton from its amazing hosts.

You guys are awesome. Thank you so much for giving us such great information every week. My only issue is that there’s so much information that sometimes it takes me two weeks to get through Last Week in AI. So it’s almost every other week in AI for me ;). Keep on doing what you’re doing. Your effort, thought, humor, and the sheer volume of information you communicate is so appreciated. Thank you!

I’ve been listening for about a year and very few things in my life provide more value per unit of effort/attention than this podcast. Great job folks!

The fact that you guys recorded this last pod both sick w Covid/virus says it all. your dedication to this topic is clear and its the best round up of the week. More and longer segments on arts and entertainment x AI please!

Very, very informative. Great balanced insights and discussions by these two. The dedication to even recording while both were sick! Hope yall are seeking better and please keep up the great content!!🙂

As a Computer Science graduate student at Portland State University specializing in Large Language Models, I find this podcast to be an invaluable resource. Hosts Andrey and Jeremy excel in distilling complex AI news into concise, insightful summaries. Their show-note captions are perfect for deeper dives into topics, and their analysis of the global impact of AI developments is particularly enlightening. This podcast is a must-listen for anyone in the field, combining brevity with depth in a way that both informs and inspires.

Best workaround for not getting a PhD in AI.

Love the podcast, one of my tier 1 sources for in depth information and interesting commentary on everything AI!

This is by far the best and most efficient to stay up to date with all things AI. I recommend it to everyone like me who is kind of a late starter on AI. This podcast allowed me to leapfrog some colleagues who have been working on AI for way longer than I have. This is the ChatGPT polished version: This platform is outstandingly efficient and the best resource I've found for staying current with all things AI. It's ideal for anyone who feels they're a bit late to the AI game, like myself. This podcast has enabled me to leapfrog colleagues who have been immersed in AI far longer than I have. Highly recommended for quick and substantial insights!

Informed, engaged AI professionals who can be enthusiastic about advances while giving due attention to safety concerns. Perfect if you want information about recent events and the technological SOTA without the manic id of libertarian accelerationism OR the rantings of the p(doom) prophets.

Truly an amazing resource for people wanting to go deep on the AI field and track this rapidly evolving industry. This podcast has equipped me the with information that’s been key in creating my own AI startup. I especially love the Research and Advancement sections and find those discussion to be very helpful.

I love the show that these guys have put together. It is accessible to the casual observer as well as informative to the skilled-in-the-art. It gives an good overview in this mad era where the pace of change in AI has become exponential. I like their informal discussion format as well as their cheeky humour! My only criticism is that I wish it were longer actually. I love their format, but I would advocate for a “deep-dive” section (perhaps at the end) where interesting things could be talked about in detail. I know this isn’t for everyone (hence the suggestion about putting it at the end), but I, and I think others, would value this. Keep it up Gents! Peter

This podcast is required listening if you don’t have the time to scour the news, academic publications, and the open source network daily to keep up with this rapidly evolving field. Andrey and Jeremie offer complimentary viewpoints and do a commendable job of offering colorful insight. As a faculty physicist in an academic medical imaging practice and manager of a technical team, it is essential that I stay up to date with progress in AI because it is very quickly permeating all aspects of my professional life. This podcast offers almost everything I need to understand the quickly shifting trends in the broad field, offering much needed context to what is happening in my field into context. After recommending this podcast to numerous colleagues, it’s time to write a 5-star review. Please keep up the good work, and please keep releasing consistent, high-quality content.

The academic AI safety gatekeeping bias is too heavy handed in this podcast. It’s obvious those in safety want to assert influence over an important technology they cannot hope to create themselves and appeal to people’s fears. I appreciate the technical depth of the updates, but the show could use some improvements in the safety rhetoric and also could be more humble. Look at what is happening to OpenAI.

This Week in AI has been indispensable to me for the last nine months. I run a small information design company, and need to better understand and master important issues in AI to make sure my company is at the forefront of this transformation. The podcast has helped me go from limited knowledge in early 2023 to now being able to attend academic conferences and technical talks and being able to largely (and increasingly) understand critical technical and policy issues and converse intelligently with AI practitioners. The shows are long, but that’s because the hosts provide a valuable service: not just giving headlines on the basic stories, but providing context based on their own professional and academic knowledge in the field. Because of the discussions they have with each other, I’ve learned a lot about which headlines are meaningful (and why), as well as developing an understanding of a vast array of important software, hardware, economic and political issues.

I’m just a nerd who loves learning. Last week does a great job summarizing where the field is advancing but also does a great job of looking where things might go. It’s my top pick to stay up on AI news.

Best podcast out there on ai. Indispensable for keeping up with the deluge of events going on in the community.

As a ML engineer at a fast growing startup that works heavily with AI technologies everyday, I need to be aware and up to date with all of the most promising technology research. This podcast is really the only way I’m able to do that. The hosts, Andrey and Jeremy, are very knowledgeable and credible and have a great dynamic together. They really play off of each other well and both bring different perspectives to the table in a balanced and thought provoking dialog of the latest developments in research, tools, policies, and other important areas in AI news. I really appreciate the amount of work they put into covering such a VAST amount of information that gets generated around these topics each week. They somehow manage to find, curate, and decompose these highly technical papers to give us listeners the important bits that matter most. I can’t thank them enough for the value they have provided by creating this podcast and appreciate the amount of work they put into making the highest quality AI podcast that you can listen to. Keep up the amazing work guys! You’ve got a lifetime listener here.

With all the AiDD around GenAI these hosts dive deep into all of it. It’s dense and and it’s long but the content is engaging and I always end up eagerly waiting for the next episode. Keep it coming!

It’s hard to find a great podcast that you can listen every week without burnout. Many of the podcasts on data science and AI goes too deep into a subject and if you aren’t interested in this subject, it becomes hard to follow. The hosts are the real deal. My favorite podcast! Keep them coming!

AI pace of development is too fast for standard media to handle. This podcast has been invaluable for me to get an informed opinion beyond headlines. It’s saving me hours a week I’d have to spend otherwise.
