How AI Happens Sama

Bobak shares the process of developing Brilliant Labs' AR glasses, including the function calling they developed to train the device to decide which LLMs to query.

Tech evangelism is a relatively new term, so Andrew graciously explains what a tech evangelist is, how he became one, how he embodies this role at Dremio, and why he values this designation among modern tech professionals. Our guest then shares the pain points that inspired his choice to join Dremio, what Dremio as an organization is all about, how the company uses generative AI, and the common obstacles that Andrew is faced with at work.

AI has become the single largest driver of revenue spend for venture capitalists.

Today’s guest has sat on the board for many companies and currently serves as a General Partner at Theory Ventures. Tom Tunguz joins us to share his predictions for the future of software along with many other insights from his research into AI, including the importance of being at the forefront of AI developments as a leader, changing metrics to predict future success, and whether or not Generative AI is gearing up to replace Google search.

Out of all five human senses, our ability to smell is considered to be the most strongly linked to memory, learning, and emotion, and is arguably the most elusive. Existing AI development has largely been focused on more concrete senses like sight and hearing. But until we’ve incorporated all five senses into an artificial being, it’s unlikely we’ll ever be able to achieve human-level intelligence. That is why today’s guest, Kordel France, has chosen to take on the complex and challenging task of developing machines’ ability to smell.

To help us paint a clearer picture of the inner workings of data science, we are joined today by Elettra Damaggio, the Director of Data Science at StoneX Group Inc., a business that connects other companies and people to various markets. Elettra’s foundations in ML are in neural networks and when she joined StoneX, she was thrown into the deep end of data science.

As generative AI enjoys its time in the spotlight, exciting innovations are being developed for experts and also those with limited technical knowledge, and PartyRock from Amazon Web Services (AWS) is becoming a popular playground for both professional and novice developers.
