Researchers, scientists, educators, philosophers, policymakers and builders have explored AI on The Ayush Prakash Podcast. Their ideas matter, but they are spread across long episodes and often expressed in specialist language.
CIF is turning those conversations into a free, interactive public record. Start with a question, read a clear explanation, compare perspectives and follow any idea back to its source. No technical background or institutional access required.
Aaron Swartz was a programmer, writer and activist who fought to make knowledge freely accessible, and died by suicide while facing an aggressive federal prosecution over downloaded academic articles that his family condemned as intimidation and prosecutorial overreach.
Aaron Swartz’s belief that knowledge should be open shapes how this project is built. Institutions may help fund, host, or extend the work. Access remains public.

What intelligence, consciousness and judgment mean for people and machines.
How AI affects learning, skill, attention and the ability to think for ourselves.
