What No Priors covers

Sarah and Elad interview leading AI engineers, researchers and founders about AGI timelines, market disruption and state-of-the-art research. The investor hosts bring a startup and market lens to technical guests.

Episodes are shorter than most long-form AI interview shows, which makes it easy to keep up weekly.

Who it's for

Our take: No Priors suits founders, investors and operators tracking AI startups and research. It is a good pick if you want frontier-lab and big-company guests in under an hour. For more shows like it, see our best AI podcasts for founders list.

Because episodes stay under an hour, it is one of the easier interview shows to keep up with weekly. Its crossover special with Latent Space at Microsoft Build shows the overlap between the two audiences.
