Explore how people co-exist with AI.
The Co-Existence Record
The Co-Existence Record is public access to knowledge: an interactive way to explore ideas from The Ayush Prakash Podcast when a long conversation is hard to stay with. It is made to build attention, strength and curiosity, then lead you back to the original conversations. Its summaries, comparisons, connections and maps are CIF editorial interpretations, so use the linked original source before quoting or attributing a claim.

Use the Record as a guide to its linked sources. It brings together original conversations, source material and CIF’s editorial summaries so people can explore ideas in context. Every summary, comparison, connection and map is CIF editorial interpretation.
Original work, original rights.
Rights in recordings, transcripts, quotations and other source material remain with their respective rights holders. Linked source material is provided so readers can inspect the original context. Public access does not make that material public domain or grant permission to republish it.
CIF’s summaries are interpretations.
CIF’s summaries, comparisons, connections and maps do not state or imply a contributor’s exact words, complete or current position, or endorsement of CIF. They may omit context or contain errors. Check the linked original source before quoting or attributing a claim. The selected conversations do not measure public opinion or consensus.
Questions, corrections or concerns?
For concerns about accuracy, attribution, ownership or use of material, contact CIF through the official enquiry form. Include the relevant page or passage so we can review it.
Big questions about AI, made understandable for everyone.
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.
Knowledge should be accessible to everyone.
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.

How the Record works.
01Start with a question.
Each question gathers positions into shared ground, different views, and what remains open. The map shows disagreement without forcing a single conclusion.
02Check the source.
Every published position links to the speaker, timestamp, surrounding exchange, and original recording so readers can inspect the record themselves.
03Challenge the map.
CIF welcomes corrections, missing evidence, and competing interpretations. Substantive corrections will remain visible in the Record’s change history.
04Public by default.
No paywall, required email, or institutional affiliation. If institutions later help fund, host, or extend the work, access will remain public.
