AI:AM is hosted by Prakash Narayanan and Nathan Labenz, whose personal accounts are followed by Jeff Bezos (Amazon founder), Marc Andreessen (a16z founder), Garry Tan (Y Combinator President and CEO), Jack Clark (Anthropic co-founder), Jerry Tworek (OpenAI VP), and many of the founders, researchers, and investors setting the AI agenda.
When AI:AM publishes, the right people see it.
What we cover
Built for the AI takeoff.
There's a yawning gulf between the people inside the AI bubble and everyone else, and it's getting wider every week. The people with the most accurate picture of what's coming are structurally unable to describe it. Lab leaders can't speak candidly. Research stops getting published. Leaks go pseudonymous.
AI:AM is a live morning show built to close that gap — with the people who are actually building, funding, and shipping AI, on the record, in real time.
The hosts
Hosted by operators.
Prakash Narayanan
Co-host
Prakash leans toward deployment — the economic upside, the operators shipping AI into the real economy. A finance operator turned AI builder: Stanford EE, investment banking, distressed debt and special situations across emerging Asia, ML credit scoring before the LLM era. 55,000 followers and 300M+ impressions on X.

What's been on the record this month.
Each episode goes live on , then becomes a written briefing and source archive. Four shows in, with guest rosters and source notes pulled from the AI:AM show archive.
Independent AI media, filling the vacuum.
The labs talk to each other. The funds talk to each other. We talk to both — live, on the record, before the news cycle has its take. The room is small. The work it produces is not.
Live, not laundered.
Conversations air in real time on . The format is direct, time-sensitive, and designed for people already tracking the field.
Briefing, not interview.
We come prepared. Guests are pushed on the work, the numbers, and the trade-offs by hosts technical enough to ask the second question.
Builders first.
Founders, researchers, operators, investors. The people whose decisions actually move what gets built.
Written after.
Episode notes and source links turn the live discussion into a useful briefing for people who do not have an hour.
Reach the room before the news cycle does.
AI:AM partners are companies that want to be in front of operators, researchers, and investors paying attention to what is actually happening. One sponsor per episode, read by the hosts, in their voice.
