Why PodData
What you use today, and what it misses
What it misses
They’re built around bills, votes and hearings, not what executives and the people building AI say on podcasts and in long interviews.
What a tracker gives you
What the people who shape AI policy say outside the hearing room, word for word, with the speaker named.
In pilot
What other products cover is from their own pages, as read on Nov 12, 2026. Each name links to the page we read.

Trackers you could write
Each is one sentence, with a real quote it would have caught on a show we follow. The words it matched are marked, and the second plays the show’s own recording from there.

what I think would be wise to do as soon as possible, if not immediately, would be to have the major AI competitors test each other’s models
Proposals to regulate powerful open-weight AI models

Tech CEOs on AI sovereignty and national strategy
People: tech CEOsTopic: AI sovereignty
The worst thing for any country to do in the name of sovereignty, if they’re off frontier, then that makes no sense because you’re falling behind.
How we name speakers
A name only when the evidence agrees
The speaker, or “unconfirmed”
Every quote says “Speaker confirmed” or “Speaker unconfirmed”. We would rather say we’re unsure than guess.
No voice prints
We name people from what is said and written about an episode, never from a stored voice.
The exact words, to the second
Each quote is checked word for word against the transcript, and links to the show’s own recording at its second.
