Prime Minister Narendra Modi will feature on a podcast with renowned AI researcher and US-based podcaster Lex Fridman at the end of February, the latter claims. This will mark Modi’s second podcast appearance, following his recent debut with Indian entrepreneur Nikhil Kamath.
Since 2018, the Lex Fridman Podcast has been interviewing prominent figures. In 2019, Fridman gained attention when Elon Musk praised his MIT study, which claimed drivers stayed focused using Tesla's semi-autonomous system.
Fridman announced the news on social media platform X, revealing that he will visit India for the first time next month. "I will be doing a podcast with Narendra Modi (@narendramodi), Prime Minister of India, at the end of February. I’ve never been to India, so I’m excited to finally visit and experience many facets of its vibrant, historic culture and its amazing people as fully as I can," he posted.
