<p>An exciting week for Tom, who tells Nate about his company Hortus AI, whose mission is to make AI accountable to local communities. We cover a lot of classic Retort themes as Tom makes a case for what's missing from AI development, and how models could be more healthily integrated into everyday people's lives.</p><p>Press release: <a href="https://hortus.ai/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/Hortus-AI-Press-Release_Feb25.pdf" class="linkified" target="_blank">https://hortus.ai/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/Hortus-AI-Press-Release_Feb25.pdf</a><br/>Company website: <a href="https://hortus.ai/" class="linkified" target="_blank">https://hortus.ai/</a><br/>Link to whitepaper: <a href="https://www.newamerica.org/rethinkai/policy-papers/a-sustainable-path-for-ai-development/">https://www.newamerica.org/rethinkai/policy-papers/a-sustainable-path-for-ai-development/</a></p> <br/><br/>This is a public episode.
