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 mathematical concepts that power 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.

SilverEdge is a private-equity backed government contractor primarily working in the intelligence community in the National Capital Region, shares Kelly Douglas, Vice President of Talent Acquisition. With over 300 employees, 90% of whom have polygraphs, there is a focus on employee retention, whether that’s through flexible schedules or internal mobility to avoid burnout. Plus, we cover why it’s important to know your worth in the marketplace.
“I'm very passionate about the navigation of a salary conversation. It's awkward. It's awkward for everyone. It's awkward for the person asking and the person that has to answer. Compensation at the end of the day is something that's very personal to an individual. So what are your skills? What's your experience? What's your education and training? And then what does the job require you to do? And then kind of place your value.”
