Artificial intelligence is evolving at an unprecedented pace—what does that mean for the future of technology, venture capital, business, and even our understanding of ourselves? Award-winning journalist and writer Anil Ananthaswamy joins us for our latest episode to discuss his latest book Why Machines Learn: The Elegant Math Behind Modern AI . Anil helps us explore the journey and many breakthroughs that have propelled machine learning from simple perceptrons to the sophisticated algorithms shaping today’s AI revolution, powering GPT and other models. The discussion aims to demystify some of the underlying math that powers modern machine learning to help everyone grasp this technology impacting our lives, even if your last math class was in high school. Anil walks us through the power of scaling laws, the shift from training to inference optimization, and the debate among AI’s pioneers about the road to AGI—should we be concerned, or are we still missing key pieces of the puzzle? The conversation also delves into AI’s philosophical implications—could understanding how machines learn help us better understand ourselves? And what challenges remain before AI systems can truly operate with agency? If you enjoy this episode, please subscribe and leave us a review on your favorite podcast platform.

Episode 005 Why construction managers don’t develop as leaders 19:45

1. I’m not a born leader so I can’t lead. 2. A title and seniority will automatically make me a leader. 3. Work experience will make me a leader. 4. I’m waiting until I get a position to start developing as a leader. These are all false. If you put in the time, effort and money you can develop yourself as a great leader. So start developing yourself, your team and you will see your profits increase. In later episodes I will get into how to develop ourselves as leaders. Thanks for listening. Don’t forget to share.
