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.

In episode one of my podcast, I'm delighted to introduce Professor Paul Goddard, a retired Professor of Radiology and co-author of the controversial book "The Death of Science." This insightful work scrutinizes the politicization of science, asserting that it's being manipulated to dictate public behaviour, which poses a threat to the essence of science and liberal democracy. "The Death of Science" discusses provocative topics such as the origins of COVID-19, vaccine efficacy, climate change, and the importance of challenging scientific narratives without resorting to dismissive labels. Join us for a thought-provoking discussion on how science intersects with politics and society, and the vital role of debate and inquiry in advancing knowledge.…
