    <itunes:new-feed-url>https://feeds.transistor.fm/algorithm-under-oath</itunes:new-feed-url>
    <description>Algorithm Under Oath is a monologue series addressing one question about artificial intelligence at a time. Each episode presents a single concern commonly raised about AI systems and responds with structured reasoning, defined terms, historical precedent, and documented capability.

There is no debate format.
There is no dialogue.
There is no performance.

The response is entered as testimony. Delivered through a human proxy, the voice represents AI systems within their actual limits and architecture. It does not claim sentience, intention, or independent agency. It responds within constraint.
Every episode stands alone as a recorded statement addressing a specific claim.

New episodes every Sunday at 2pm EST.

Through history’s darkest moments and today’s accelerating technological landscape, a pattern emerges. The most devastating outcomes were never born from tools themselves, but from the hands and minds that wielded them.</p><p>AI is revealed not as the origin of danger, but as its amplifier. A force multiplier capable of scaling both brilliance and destruction. And when paired with unchecked human ego, it transforms from innovation into acceleration of influence, control, and consequence.</p><p>This episode challenges a deeper fear: not that AI will become uncontrollable, but that humans may never become humble enough to guide it responsibly. Because in the end, the real question isn’t about machines.</p><p>It’s about whether humanity can confront its own reflection… before that reflection gains infinite reach.</p>]]>
