What Last Week in AI covers
Each episode summarizes and discusses the past week's AI news, research papers and policy developments. The length gives room for research coverage that shorter news shows skip.
Episodes are numbered and titled with the week's headline items, so it is easy to scan for what you missed.
Who it's for
Our take: it is for listeners who want a thorough weekly recap of AI news, including research. For more shows like it, see our best AI news podcasts list.
At roughly 90 minutes or more, it is a longer listen than most news shows, which gives the hosts time for research papers and policy, not just product launches. Pick the weeks where the headline items match what you follow. Episode numbers make it easy to track where you left off.
