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.

Are you ready to let go of doubt and questioning yourself as a new mom? Do you long to just trust, relax and be fully present, knowing all is unfolding beautifully? Hi, I’m Kelly Jo Murphy and it warms my heart you are here ready to cultivate your baby’s development, to care for your baby’s natural potential and to guide them as they grow, with your values. I’m a Mother of 4 grown children, a Baby Nanny, Parenting Mentor, Podcast Host and Abstract Expressionist Artist/Designer. I share how child development works, what all children need in the psychology of development and how to know what your individual baby wants and needs based on their temperament and personality, as well as your own. I also share ways for you to relax and enjoy the journey of motherhood. I homeschooled my children and over the years, studied child development, child psychology and early childhood education in order to be the best mom I could be. I used to worry that I wouldn’t know enough so I studied so much about children instead of looking to my own natural mothering wisdom within. I finally realized as I began teaching other moms about their baby’s development and having a close connection with their baby, that nurturing by nature, trusting your own inner voice, was the way to the beautiful memories, helping babies grow and guiding them into their highest potential. I’m here to share with you about knowing the difference between when something is within normal development and when it’s really about the individual person your baby is. And when you know how to bring those two together, magic happens in your mothering. Being a new mom, time slips away so fast...so I help you create beautiful memories you can hold onto forever! I inspire new moms to honor their natural mothering inner wisdom to parent authentically for optimal growth, development and emotional bonding. The unknown of the future is going to show itself when it’s the right time for you to see it of what to do with your baby as they are growing. So be here right now in whatever stage your baby is in because it will go so so so fast. Let’s go!
