The Best Podcasts About AI in Our World

Artificial intelligence has slipped quietly into our daily lives — or, in some cases, crashed straight in. It’s in the boardroom and the classroom, on the factory floor and on the playing field. While debates rage about ethics and existential risk, the more immediate story is how AI is reshaping industries right now.

From sports analytics to surgical precision, these podcasts explore what AI means for the way we work, learn, heal, and play. They offer something more valuable than hype: an invitation to understand the technology and how to prepare to live alongside it.

The Best Podcasts About AI

We’ve rounded up some of the best AI podcasts out there. These are shows that share news, insights, and lessons to help you navigate how AI is reshaping work and life across industries.

Me, Myself and AI

It can be hard to see what AI success actually looks like with all the think pieces and catchy headlines. This show gets right to it, talking directly to the leaders, making it happen. Guests from companies like YouTube, Cisco, and Hugging Face share how they’ve turned AI from a promising tool into tangible business value.

Plenty of podcasts talk about AI’s potential; How I AI skips straight to showing you what to do with it. Hosted by Claire Vo, each 30-minute episode features a guest sharing one practical, high-impact way they’ve woven AI into their work or life. There’s no hand-waving futurism here: tips and ready-to-use workflows make this feel more like a skill-share than a “for-show” discussion..

Whether you’re trying to shave hours off a repetitive task or reimagine an entire process, How I AI offers a steady stream of techniques you can copy, adapt, and make your own. It’s AI literacy with a strong lean in to action.

Imagine This… from BCG

AI is already pulling up a chair in the boardroom. In Imagine This…, Patricia Sabga and her AI co-host GENE, tackle scenarios that sound speculative — until you realize how quickly they’re becoming plausible. Each episode brings in BCG experts to stress-test the future, from boardroom shake-ups to global supply chain rewrites, and to consider what leaders can do now to prepare.

It’s a conversation where human insight and machine analysis share equal billing, and where “what if” quickly turns into “what’s next.” For executives tired of vague futurism, Imagine This offers concrete, if occasionally daunting, steps for navigating AI’s impact on business and beyond.

Athletic Intelligence from Gamechanger AI

Baseball and softball might be rooted in American tradition, but Athletic Intelligence proves they’re also fertile ground for innovation. In bi-weekly episodes, the show explores how AI and sports technology are changing the game. 

The focus isn’t on professional stadiums; youth leagues and local ballparks are where Gamechanger is looking, with thoughtful conversations about how these tools shape players’ skills, parents’ weekends, and coaches’ strategies. It’s a podcast for anyone curious about the future of youth sports.

Industrial AI

In factories, labs, and assembly lines, AI is doing more than optimizing spreadsheets — it’s reshaping how things are made. Backed by Siemens, The Industrial AI Podcast covers the latest in AI and machine learning for engineering, robotics, automotive, and automation. Hosts Peter Seeberg, a veteran of both IT and industrial automation, and Robert Weber, a tech journalist with a focus on manufacturing, bring a mix of knowledge and curiosity to the table.

Each week, they speak with scientists, industrial users, and founders to demystify AI’s role in heavy industry. The conversations range from regulation and standards to “make or buy” dilemmas and the practicalities of machine learning on the factory floor.
