Otherwise
There’s the AI future everyone expects. And then there’s “Otherwise.”
“Otherwise” is a different kind of AI show. It’s about AI that makes the world a little better, and the people who built it that way. Fast Forward’s Kevin Barenblat and Nicole Davenport, who have spent the last decade helping nonprofits build mission-driven tech, sit down with some of their favorite people in the space to explore the choices behind AI’s future.
Our guests are people who ask not just what AI can do, but what it should do. They look at problems everyone else has accepted as inevitable, and decide the world can exist otherwise. We explore the experiences and convictions that make people question the default, and leave listeners wondering what they might build differently, too.

Stats: Statistics are produced by PRX and Podtrac to help Otherwise to understand how many downloads it is getting, or how many people are listening. Your device’s IP address and user agent is used to help calculate this figure. PRX and Podtrac are IAB v2 certified. Here is more detail about podcast statistics.
Dynamic content insertion: PRX may use limited data that they know about you - the device you’re using, the approximate location you’re in, or other data that can be derived from this, like the current weather forecast for your area - to change parts of the audio. Otherwise may do this for advertising or for other forms of content, like news stories.
Otherwise is able to use the above tools since its podcast host or measurement company offers this service. It doesn’t mean that this individual podcast uses them, or has access to this functionality. We use open data.
