    AI, Culture, and the Future of Human Identity with Annabelle Cusack

    In this episode of Aithos, host Aashna Jain speaks with Annabelle Cusack about how AI is shaping not only the systems around us but also the way we think, communicate, and understand ourselves. Rather than viewing AI as simply a tool, this conversation explores how technologies embed values, influence behavior, and quietly reshape culture and identity. We discuss authenticity, optimization, ecological impact, and the growing tension between human judgment and algorithmic systems. As AI becomes increasingly integrated into everyday life, this episode asks what it means to remain human in a world increasingly shaped by intelligent systems.

    AI in the Classroom: Rethinking Education in the Age of AI

    As AI becomes embedded in education, the question is no longer just how students use it—but what it is doing to the way they think. In this episode of Aithos, host Aashna Jain speaks with philosopher Sven Nyholm about the evolving role of AI in classrooms and universities. Rather than framing AI as simply helpful or harmful, this conversation explores the tension between AI as a tool that supports thinking — and one that risks replacing it. We discuss how institutions are responding to AI, why banning it may miss the point, and how over-reliance — especially early on — can shape a student’s ability to judge, reason, and think independently. The episode also unpacks broader questions around authorship, assessment, and what education is ultimately meant to develop in an AI-driven world. As education enters an experimental phase, this conversation asks what we should adapt — and what we should be careful not to lose.

    Access and Agency: Grounding AI in Africa with Yauvan

    In this episode of Aithos, host Aashna Jain speaks with Yauvan from AI Collective about what it truly means to centre AI around people, not just technology. We dig into why education is a defining space for AI impact in Africa — but only if access, equity and community voices are part of the design. Rather than focusing on buzzwords, we explore how AI intersects with real‑world constraints like connectivity, cost, and classroom realities. We also unpack the idea of sovereign AI — what it means beyond competing with global giants, and how local ownership, voice, and context shape a different future for AI on the continent.

    AI at Work: An Optimistic Future with Dan Turchin

    As Artificial Intelligence moves from the background into everyday working life, the question is no longer whether AI belongs in the workplace—but how it should coexist alongside us. In the first episode of Aithos, Host Aashna Jain is joined by Dan Turchin as they discuss what it means to build workplaces shaped by intelligent systems— and the values embedded within them. Rather than asking what AI can replace, this discussion focuses on what AI can enable: more equitable systems, sustainable practices, and more intentional ways of working. This episode sets the tone for Aithos, a podcast about technology, not as an end in itself, but as a reflection of the society we choose to build.
