About This Podcast
Welcome to Vancouver AI, where grassroots creativity collides with exponential technology. What started as a personal audio journey into the mysteries of machine intelligence has evolved into the living, breathing voice of the Vancouver AI community... a place where coders, artists, scientists, rebels, dreamers, and educators converge to co-create the future.
Hosted by Kris Krüg... artist, technologist, and community builder... this channel is a sonic archive of our meetups, hackathons, keynotes, and rituals. Expect raw, real, often electric conversations with local and global thinkers who are shaping the frontlines of AI ethics, embodiment, creativity, governance, and impact.
From emotional AI experiments and Indigenous tech futurism to food classification hackathons and seances for dead composers... this is more than a podcast. It’s a cultural memory device, a field recorder for the AI era, and a breadcrumb trail for those building human-centered futures.
Tune in to hear the beat of a movement. These are our stories. This is our time.
