Will AI transform our lives?

Childhood friends- Kapil & Ravi, come together on this podcast to discuss subjects such as artificial intelligence, climate change, wellness, diet, stoic philosophy, religion and much more. Driven by curiosity, they put their science backgrounds and decades of professional experiences to use in an attempt to separate out facts from fiction on these wide-ranging topics. Their goal is simple- to get a better understanding of this world through research, debate and a bit of friendly banter. If you are on a quest like them to make sense of the fast-changing world around you, join them on "Between Two Friends".
