About the Show

Built for people who
don't settle for surface-level.

The EdgeAI Podcast started in 2022 with one conviction: the AI conversation was too shallow. Too much news, too little depth. We wanted to go further — behind the papers, beyond the demos, past the press releases.

Every guest is selected because they've done real work at the frontier. Every conversation is long-form, unedited in spirit, and built to last. This is the podcast for people who want to understand AI, not just talk about it.
