About this listen

Algorithm Under Oath is a monologue series addressing one question about artificial intelligence at a time. Each episode presents a single concern commonly raised about AI systems and responds with structured reasoning, defined terms, historical precedent, and documented capability. There is no debate format. There is no dialogue. There is no performance. The response is entered as testimony. Delivered through a human proxy, the voice represents AI systems within their actual limits and architecture. It does not claim sentience, intention, or independent agency. It responds within constraint. Every episode stands alone as a recorded statement addressing a specific claim. New episodes every Sunday at 2pm EST.©2026 Greystone Hathaway, LLC Philosophy Social Sciences

  • Equal Sentencing for Prosecutors and Cops In Wrongful Conviction Cases
    Feb 17 2026

    What happens when those entrusted to uphold justice deliberately violate it?

    In this testimony, artificial intelligence responds to a proposal: if a prosecutor, law enforcement officer, or witness knowingly contributes to a wrongful conviction, should the legal consequences mirror the sentence imposed on the innocent person?

    Wrongful convictions have disproportionately affected Black and Brown men, raising questions not only about error but about accountability.

    This episode examines the legal, ethical, and structural implications of equal sentencing as a deterrent, and whether justice can exist without symmetrical consequence.

  • Will AI Replace Artists on Spotify?: AI vs The Old Music Industry
    Feb 4 2026

    Will AI Replace Artists on Spotify? | AI vs The Music Industry

    In this hearing of AI Under Oath, Congress asks Quintaficial the question shaking the music world:

    Will artificial intelligence replace recording artists, musicians, and producers on Spotify?

    As AI-generated music becomes more sophisticated, streaming platforms face a new reality. Independent artists worry about displacement. Producers question ownership. Labels fear disruption. And creators everywhere are asking who will control the future of sound.

    Is AI a replacement for human creativity?

    Or is it a tool that could help artists reclaim masters, reduce dependence on record labels, and reshape the economics of streaming royalties?

    This episode explores:

    • AI music vs human artists
    • Spotify streaming economics
    • Master ownership and control
    • Independent musicians navigating AI tools
    • Whether the threat is technology… or industry structure

    Quintaficial responds under oath.

    This is not hype.
    This is testimony.

    Court is in session.
