The Artificial Intelligence Podcast Dr. Tony Hoang

Join Varun Mohan, CEO of Codeium, as he discusses the evolution of his company from a GPU virtualization startup to a leading AI-powered coding assistant. He explains how Codeium differentiates itself by training its own models, leveraging context from entire codebases, and focusing on improving the entire software development lifecycle beyond just code writing. Mohan also shares his views on the future of coding assistants, predicting an increase in AI-generated code and a profound change in the IDE experience, while emphasizing that these tools will likely create more developer jobs rather than replace them.

Join Matt Fleck, CEO, and Neil Heller, COO, of Anonomatic as we discuss data protection by separating business data from identifying information, a method they call polyanonymization. They emphasize that traditional data protection methods like encryption and firewalls are insufficient against modern threats, especially with the advent of quantum computing and generative AI. Their flagship product, PII Vault, enables organizations to keep data secure by removing personal identifiers, making it useless if stolen, thus balancing security with the need for data utility.

We sit down with Julian LaNeve, Chief Technology Officer at Astronomer. In this episode, Julian provides an in-depth look into Astronomer's journey as a front-runner in data orchestration and engineering. He discusses the innovative strategies and technologies that set Astronomer apart, the evolving landscape of data engineering, and the challenges and achievements that have shaped the company's path. Dive into an insightful discussion about the future of data technology, the culture driving Astronomer's success, and the vision that Julian LaNeve brings to the forefront of this dynamic field.

Join Hagay Lupesko, VP of Engineering at Databricks/MosaicML, in an exclusive backstage access to discuss Databricks AI Summit 2024 GenAI announcements. Hagay discusses the latest generative AI advancements, emphasizing Databricks' shift towards serverless AI services and the importance of leveraging proprietary data for enterprise AI systems. He highlights a new partnership with Shutterstock for a commercially ready text-to-image model and the development of an agent framework to enhance AI functionality with integrated tools. We touch on the future of AI, focusing on the balance between pre-training and fine-tuning models, and addressing security concerns in AI development.

Join Michael Huth, Dean at Imperial College London and Chief Research Officer at Xayn, as he discusses his journey from a mathematics background to leading roles in both academia and a startup, highlighting the importance of strategic control in his department at Imperial and the innovative work at Xayn. He explores topics such as the concept of sovereign legal AI, the global landscape of AI legislation, ethical concerns in regulated industries, and the integration of cybersecurity with AI research and development.

Join Arijit Raychowdhury, Chair of Electrical and Computer Engineering at Georgia Tech, and Cheryl Martin, Global Higher Education and Research at Nvidia, as they discuss their pioneering collaboration in AI education. Diving into the genesis of the partnership, they elaborate on how it aims to democratize access to AI tools and resources for students across disciplines. From hands-on experience to mentorship opportunities, they explore the unique setup of the AI makerspace and its potential to inspire the next generation of innovators.
