Technology changes what we build.

The more interesting question is what it changes about us.

Technically Human is a long-form interview series exploring the relationship between technology and what it means to be human. Through conversations with researchers, policymakers, technologists, founders, writers, and public intellectuals, the podcast examines how emerging technologies reshape our institutions, our values, and our understanding of ourselves.

Rather than focusing on product launches or technology news, the podcast asks a different set of questions:

• What kinds of societies are we building?
• Who benefits from technological change?
• What happens when institutions become increasingly automated?
• How should democratic societies govern emerging technologies?
• What remains uniquely human?

Why I Started the Podcast

I started Technically Human because some of the most interesting conversations about technology were happening across disciplines rather than within them. Computer scientists, philosophers, legal scholars, sociologists, entrepreneurs, historians, policymakers, and activists were often asking related questions but rarely speaking to one another.

The podcast became a place to bring those conversations together. Preparing for each interview has also become one of the central ways I deepen my own research. The process of understanding someone’s work well enough to ask thoughtful questions often reveals connections that would be difficult to discover through reading alone.

What I Have Learned

More than one hundred conversations have convinced me that the most important questions raised by emerging technologies cannot be answered within any single discipline. Progress depends on bringing together technical expertise, institutional knowledge, historical perspective, and democratic judgment. Technically Human exists to make those conversations possible.
