Über diesen Podcast
The Brief presents unique and entertaining interviews with original thinkers on the most critical issues of the day. Journalist Jim Clancy engages expert guests in rigorous but relaxed conversations that unpack serious subjects in new and surprising ways. In a relatable yet informed manner, we illuminate some of the misapprehensions that the public may hold. By tapping the knowledge of our guests, we intend to surface some of the overlooked causal factors and explore contingencies that may yet happen.
The Brief will range beyond conventional national security debates and explore how technology- especially artificial intelligence- is likely to alter our economies and societies. The podcast intends to provide robust discussions about how environmental and climate concerns should be every society’s priority, and we will cover some innovative potential approaches on how humanity could bend the curve of global warming.
