Eye on A.I. is hosted by Craig S. Smith, described in its feed as a longtime New York Times correspondent. Its feed calls it a biweekly podcast, but the public feed shows two to three episodes a week (about 23 in the last 90 days, as of October 2026), usually about 55 minutes each.
Each episode, in the feed's words, Craig talks "to people making a difference in artificial intelligence," aiming to put incremental advances into a broader context and consider the global implications of the technology.
Recent titles range from enterprise AI (procurement automation, customer operations, a test of 65+ models on cost) to interviews with researchers such as Ilya Sutskever, plus a defense-technology episode about drones in Ukraine.
Our take: people who want interview-led AI coverage with a journalist's framing, from founders and operators to well-known researchers. Episodes are long enough for detail.
