About this listen

What is artificial intelligence, really? Not the buzzwords. Not the hype. Just the real story — of how machines learned to learn, and how we trained them on everything we are. From Alan Turing and the Imitation Game to ChatGPT, deepfakes, and corporate arms races, Speaking in Code walks through the actual history of AI: It’s a fast, unfiltered walk through the code, the culture, and the chaos of how artificial intelligence actually happened — and what it’s replacing along the way. The machine didn’t come out of nowhere. We taught it. And it’s still listening.
