In April 2020, the National Security Commission on Artificial Intelligence issued its first-quarter recommendations to Congress, covering seven lines of effort, six of which are public and one of which is classified. In the first of a series of podcast episodes about those recommendations, we spoke with Andrew Moore, a professor at Carnegie Mellon University and NSCAI commissioner about the commission’s recommendations on increased AI R&D funding.

COVID-19 continues to sweep through the human population, killing some and damaging the health of others. While this podcast is normally focused on machine-learning, this week I talk to Vittorio Sebastiano, an assistant professor of stem cell biology at Stanford University, about groundbreaking tech that could someday help restore scarred tissue to pre-COVID health. Vittorio talked about his hunt for machine-learning collaborators to understand the process further.

COVID-19 has swept across the world was startling speed, but with equally startling speed, the machine learning community has responded. This week I speak with Irina Rish, a professor at the University of Montreal and a Mila academic member, who is helping head a task force to understand the virus. She talked about where the efforts currently stand and where they expect to go in the weeks and months ahead. Let me know when it’s live.

2020/03/18

There has been a debate in the past few years between the symbolists and the connectionists about the future of artificial intelligence. The symbolists say that traditional, explainable, logic-based approaches still hold tremendous promise while the connectionists say that the power of deep learning, for all its current opacity and narrow application, holds the key to more general forms of machine intelligence. This week, I speak with David Cox, IBM Director of the MIT-IBM Watson AI Lab, which

2020/01/07

We begin 2020 by looking back at some of the highlights from 2019 including conversations with Turing award winners, Yoshua, Bengio and Yann Lecun, as well as with the father of reinforcement learning, Rich Sutton. Our guests consider applying machine learning to the climate crisis; competition between the U S and China for dominance in AI; and the future of machine learning through various kinds of unsupervised learning.

2019/12/11

Daphne Koller, formerly at Stanford University and cofounder of the online education company, Coursera, talks this week about using machine-learning to develop new drugs. Her approach is to use machine learning to accuratley identify cellular or genetic targets for treatment. The field is just getting started but promises to speed the development of new and better therapies to treat disease.

2019/11/24

My guest this week, Aude Billard from Switzerland’s Learning Algorithms and Systems Laboratory, blends control theory with machine learning to build robotic systems that are both swift and precise but can handle some of the unpredictability of the real world. Her lab famously taught a robot arm to catch a tennis racket looping through the air and is working on ever more precise robots that can even do the work of Switzerland’s famous watchmakers.

Episode 26 - Labelbox

Eye On A.I. ·

2019/10/24

The secret in much of artificial intelligence today is that it depends on hordes of unskilled workers to label the data used to train supervised learning models. But, in order for data science teams to work with labelers around the world, they need a platform. This week, in the second of a periodic series of sponsored episodes, I talk to Manu Sharma and Brian Rieger, who saw the opportunity to provide that platform and founded Labelbox, the leading labelling software in the space.

2019/10/10

This week, I talk to Dawn Song, one of the world’s foremost experts in computer security, about her vision of a new paradigm in which people control their data and are compensated for its use by corporations. Dawn, a professor at the University of California, Berkeley, has recently launched a company, Oasis Labs, which is building a platform that brings together the immutability of blockchain and the privacy of secure enclaves to give data owners the ability to control their data.

2019/09/25

A few months ago at the recent international conference on machine learning, a workshop and research paper launched a movement to use machine learning in addressing climate change. The response was huge and has given birth to the bones of an organization climate change.ai. This week I talked to David Rolnick, a postdoc at U Penn and Priya, Donti, a Phd student at Carnegie Mellon, about how the group came together and about how the organization is developing.

Eye On A.I. ·

2019/09/11

Automated machine-learning tools – or tools that automate the creation of machine-learning applications – are increasingly important in the current talent-scarce environment. Expensive ML engineers shouldn't spend their time doing stuff that machines can do quicker and cheaper. This week, we talk to Evan Sparks and Ameet Talwalkar, two of the founders of Determined AI, which builds tools that streamline workflows for machine-learning teams and, the company hopes, will eventually democratize AI.

2019/07/04

This week, we look at AI in India. With its massive population, fast-growing economy, English-language education and large supply of brilliant researchers and engineers, it should be competing with China and the U.S. for dominance in the space. But it is not. I talk to Partha Talukdar, a professor at the Indian Institute of Science, Bangalore, about the challenges that have kept India from realizing its AI potential.
