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.

Stories are powerful tool when it comes to create a long-lasting impressions. Stories are way to explain the world. Stories are about communication. A good storyteller is the one who practice the art rather believing that he acquired it. Every product we design and every idea we brings to life through our designs are unique in its own way so until you haven’t invested your time to get the story right, it’s highly unlikely that you will be able to establish a bond with your audience. In this episode, we discussed some of the existing ways for us to tell online and offline stories as designers and what are some of the things that we can learn and practice to master the art of storytelling.…

Episode 08 Empathic Design 13:40

13:40

Empathic design is not just a conceptual thought, it’s a belief that we can understand group behavior, social influences and can develop an emotional and cognitive empathy towards larger number of people. Thus, designing products and services that matches their expectations. The neuroanatomy of our brains may allow us to feel empathy for another’s experiences, but it can also stop us from making cross-cultural connections resulting in an empathy gap. However, an active attempt to understand those cultural and psychological differences through observation, curiosity, active listening and opening up can help us overcome our bias, stereotypes and prejudice for individuals and different groups. In this episode, we will try to understand to what extent we can empathize with a group of people and the effects empathy has on our overall design process.…

Episode 07 Universal and Inclusive Design 14:54

14:54

Inclusive design is a design philosophy that embraces how diverse people are not just in terms of ability but also in terms of race, ethnicity, color, socio-economic religion. We are designing for the world that speaks many languages and has different limitations — physical or cognitive. As a design community, either we can offer an experience that respects these differences or can go a step further to create experiences that welcome people from all walks of life. Through research, we can be closer to everyone to learn more about these difference but most importantly can be closer to those who wants to be a part of the world we are designing. In this episode we will talk about these three concepts of accessibility, usability and inclusion that are crucial for designing products and services.…

Episode 06 Research in design 13:31

Research in design is not different from any other psychological or scientific research. Research help designers to move away from the hindsight bias or ‘know it all along’ phenomenon which can prove to be dangerous specially when we are trying to solve our users problems. Be it attitudinal and behavioral or quantitative or qualitative, research not only opens the door that enlighten us about our users but also help us design better experiences by revealing cultural nuances, beliefs and need. This episode touches upon what it broadly means in UX and the connection it has to our psychological roots.…

Episode 05 Complex User Experiences 13:09

13:09

Complexity in design is very subjective. A design which might look simple can be difficult to understand but a complex looking system sometimes makes perfect sense. Simplicity and complexity are not competing thoughts rather concepts that can live in harmony. What makes a complex design appear simple is all its bits and pieces organized in harmony thus making it look more cleaner, more understandable and more easy to act on. In this episode, we will touch upon our perception on 'complexity' as designers and will make an attempt to separate it out from something which is confusing or complicated.…

Conversational UX is not a latest thought. It's happening well before cellphones became a part of our lives. We, humans, are wired for conversations but oblivious to its multifaceted nature. While personal chat is ubiquitous in our daily lives, another groundbreaking technology has slowly and steadily entered in our conversational space and is blurring the boundaries between machines and humans. In this episode, we will talk about how conversation UX and chatbots are posing complex challenges for us designers.…
