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.

39:25

Dr. Robert Fox began studying parenting shortly after his first child was born. This evolved into working with families in poverty and then for families of young children with mental health issues. In 2003, he founded the Behavior Clinic in partnership with Penfield Children’s Center, a community-based, Birth-to-Three agency. The professor emeritus in the College of Education discusses the importance and legacy of his work with Provost Dan Myers. During the past 40 years, Dr. Fox developed the research and applied foundation of the Early Pathways Program to specifically address the mental health needs of very young children.

Dr. SuJean Choi on The Science of Overeating 28:16

לפני 7 years28:16

28:16

Dr. SuJean Choi studies how different parts of the brain tell us to keep eating even when we're full, which includes more than 300 distinct human motivations to eat. Dr. Choi is the recipient of both the Rev. John P. Raynor, S.J., Faculty Award for Teaching Excellence, and the Way Klingler Fellowship Award — $50,000 for three years — which she will use to learn how we can regulate the need to fuel our bodies versus the desire to eat for potentially unhealthy reasons. In addition to her scholarly work, Dr. Choi talks about playing competitive Ultimate Frisbee for 25 years and her black belt in Tae Kwon Do.
