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.

Cingi Interview 37:12

3 years ago37:12

37:12

Cinginkosi Ncube better known as Cingi is a Zimbabwean born Singer and Song writer. She was born and resides in Victoria Falls. She began singing and entertaining in high school where she was a known actress. She later joined a number of singing groups. Luveve High School nurtured and groomed the love for African art in her. She was an outspoken young lady, so she joined the debate and public speaking club, and became a Child parliamentarian in O'level. She was also very sporty, and loved dancing. She met other great artists today such as Joy Rukanza and Xmile during those years. Her first release was in 2017, when she decided to link up with a renown Victoria Falls Producer, Smokey P (Prince Dube, the best in Cingi's eyes), and did Biza Njalo. They did a video for the song as well, and the work was spectacular. She hadn't seen herself in the commercial music scene, but after Biza Njalo, Cingi knew she wanted to sing not only because she was talented only, but also because music would be a medium for her to speak and vent her heart out and so she made more music. She broadened her scope outside of Victoria Falls, and worked with some producers from Bulawayo. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/poetrama-magazine/message…
