About This Podcast

Each Saturday, David Boyle reflects on what feels important in the world of AI. Not the breathless hype or the doom. The practical, analytical perspective: what happened this week, what it means for people who use language models in their work, and what to try next. David is Director of Audience Strategies and co-founder of Steadman. He advises organisations from L.E.K. Consulting to the BBC on AI adoption. This podcast is a spoken-word version of his Saturday AI Thoughts newsletter, with different voices for each section.

What is your organisation actually for?

Apr 04, 2026 11m Transcript

Mar 21, 2026 9m Transcript

The power and the care

Mar 14, 2026 8m Transcript

The dual experience of AI acceleration: excitement and terror, said in that order. Top builders 3-5x more productive, median only 10-20%. The gap widens. Amazon outages show what happens when power…

Extraction or expansion

Mar 07, 2026 10m Transcript
