Most people think AI is either going to save humanity or destroy it. The reality? It's already quietly reshaping everything from your morning commute to your doctor's diagnosis, and most of us have no clue how any of it actually works. Unboxed breaks down what's really happening in artificial intelligence without the Silicon Valley theatrics. James Caldwell spent five years building machine learning systems before realizing he was better at explaining AI than coding it. Now he translates the latest developments into plain English, from why ChatGPT sometimes hallucinates facts to how your smart thermostat is learning your habits. Each episode tackles one specific AI development that's actually affecting your life right now. You'll understand what large language models can and can't do, why AI bias isn't just a tech problem, and how algorithms decide what you see on social media. No computer science degree required, just curiosity about the technology that's already running more of your world than you think. New episodes drop multiple times daily because AI moves fast, and someone needs to keep up. Follow now. Multiple new episodes daily—follow now!
