Lex Fridman quit Google after just six months in 2014, despite being hired to continue his dissertation research on the application of AI to identity identification. In contrast to previous studies on how people interact with automated systems, Fridman’s 2019 non-peer-reviewed study on Tesla Autopilot found that drivers of semi-autonomous cars maintained their focus.
Kanye West appeared on Fridman’s podcast in October 2022. The interview was characterized by West’s “series of incendiary and false statements about the Holocaust, abortion, and the Jewish people.”
According to a 2023 article by Elizabeth Lopatto in The Verge, Fridman “is a softball interviewer” and his podcast “has a following among the tech elite.”

In a subsequent 2023 piece in Haaretz, Ben Samuel contended that Fridman did not refute statements made by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on his podcast. According to a 2024 Bloomberg story by Ellen Huet, tech CEOs consider Fridman’s podcast as a more approachable option than more confrontational talks with traditional media.
