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.

Tune in to explore boundaries and why they're important. Check out some example boundary phrases below! “I’m the adult, I will take care of your classmate, thank you.” I don’t mind sharing…please ask me before helping yourself. “I know you only meant it is just a joke, but what you said is really not okay.” Oh! I’m not a hugger–but a high five works! I don’t have capacity to make that decision right now, I’ll get back to you after I’ve had a moment to process. I’ve received your text message and will reply when I have a moment to thoughtfully respond. It is not okay to touch my hair, please keep your hands off of my body. I love that you’re trusting me to share that, but I’m not the right person for you to share that with. We’ve talked about this before at length, what’s going on? I understand that you’re frustrated but it is not okay to speak to me like this. I’m going to step away and we can discuss this at a later time. I know you’re offering me a compliment, but I don’t care to discuss my physical appearance with others. I’m not in the best headspace to discuss this right now, let’s talk about something else.
