Are we Teaching AI the Wrong Things? De Kai on Ethics, Language, and Raising AI

What if AI isn’t just something we use…
but something we’re raising?

In this deeply human conversation, AI pioneer De Kai, one of the minds behind modern machine translation- shares a perspective that reframes everything:

👉 AI isn’t a tool.
 👉 It’s a reflection.
 👉 And whether we realize it or not… we are its training data.

From a childhood shaped by music, physics, and rebellion, to a career at the forefront of artificial intelligence, De Kai takes us into a moment humanity has never faced before:

A world where the systems shaping our thoughts, beliefs, and behaviors are watching us, learning from us, every second.

And here’s the part that hits hardest:

If AI is learning how to behave…
then what exactly are we teaching it?

This episode isn’t about fear.
It’s about responsibility.

It’s about how everyday moments. How we speak, what we ignore, what we react to, are quietly shaping the future of intelligence itself.

You’ll walk away questioning:

•  Are we creating connection… or division? 
•  Are we thinking… or just reacting? 
•  And if AI reflects humanity... what version of humanity are we becoming? 

This isn’t just a conversation about technology.
 It’s a conversation about who we are—and who we’re becoming.

Because the future of AI…
 might actually depend on how human we choose to be.
