Raised By Robots
I’m Nolan, I’m 13, and I’m trying to understand artificial intelligence by talking to the people building it.I started by experimenting with AI myself, but quickly realized the bigger questions go far beyond code.On Raised by Robots, I speak with researchers, founders, and operators to break down how AI works, where it’s heading, and how it will shape everyday life—especially for the generation growing up alongside it.
Episode 1: Prof. Dave Patterson (UC Berkeley) — Building the Foundations of AI
Before there are chatbots, before there are models, before there is AI — there are builders.
In this episode, Nolan speaks with Professor Dave Patterson of University of California, Berkeley, one of the most influential computer engineers in the world and a pioneer of RISC architecture — the design approach behind most modern computing systems.
Patterson explains how hardware quietly powers every AI breakthrough, why compute and energy are becoming the real constraints, and how the structure of machines shapes what AI can and cannot become.
This conversation breaks down the invisible layer beneath AI — and why un...
Episode 1: Yuti Purohit - Building AI to Change the Weather
What if AI could actually change the weather?
In this episode, I talk with Yuti Purohit, a 17-year-old who built an AI model using satellite data to study cloud seeding and water scarcity.
We go from how she first got into AI to what it really takes to build something beyond chatbots. We also break down what “multimodal AI” means, how you can work with real-world data, and whether students today can actually do research-level work from their own laptops.
This is a conversation about moving from just using AI to building with it—and wh...
Season 1 - Pilot
Everyone is talking about the future of AI—but not everyone is talking to the people building it.
I’m Nolan, I’m 13, and on Raised by Robots, I explore artificial intelligence by speaking with the engineers, researchers, and founders shaping it.
This is a short introduction to the show.
