    From Rabbit Holes to Recommendations: Reddit’s Vishal Gupta

    Vishal Gupta, engineering manager, machine learning at Reddit, joins the podcast to explain how the social media community platform uses artificial intelligence to improve user experience and ad relevance. Much of the advertising work relies on increasingly sophisticated recommender systems that have evolved from simple collaborative filtering to deep learning and large language model–based systems capable of multimodal understanding. https://mitsmr.com/4onhUMgVishal and Sam also explore the philosophical and ethical aspects of AI-driven platforms. Vishal emphasizes the importance of balance — between exploration and exploitation in recommendations, between advertiser goals and user experience, and between human- and machine-generated content. He argues that despite the rise of AI-generated material, authentic human conversation remains vital and even more valuable as models depend on it for training. Read the episode transcript here. Guest bio: Vishal Gupta is a seasoned engineering leader who leads multiple artificial intelligence and machine learning teams at Reddit in the ads domain. He has a decade of experience working on cutting-edge machine learning techniques at companies like DeepMind, Google, and Twitter.

    Never Fight a Megatrend: Cisco’s Jeetu Patel

    Cisco is well known for its data, networking, security, and collaboration products. On today’s episode, Cisco’s president and chief product officer, Jeetu Patel, joins Sam for a discussion about artificial intelligence, a “megatrend” Jeetu sees as perhaps more significant than the development of the internet or the automobile because of its ability to build on past technological advances. Jeetu and Sam discuss how to manage AI and how to staff for it — Jeetu argues that replacing less experienced or younger workers with technology deprives organizations of key perspectives and new ideas, and instead advocates for developing reverse-mentoring programs inside organizations. Read the episode transcript here. Guest bio: Jeetu Patel, Cisco’s president and chief product officer, combines product design and development expertise, operational rigor, and market understanding to create high-growth businesses. He is tasked with building world-class products to solve customers’ problems, and connect and protect every aspect of their organization in the AI era.

    Protection, Provenance, and Prompts: YouTube’s Angela Nakalembe

    A chemical engineer by training, Angela Nakalembe worked in the sciences and management consulting before landing at YouTube as the company’s engineering program manager for trust and safety. At YouTube, Angela explains, AI has become a first line of defense against harmful content. The technology not only accelerates content moderation tasks but makes the process more humane, by filtering out problematic content before it reaches a human reviewer. To combat the proliferation of AI-generated content that may be hard to discern from assets created by humans, YouTube, its parent company Google, and others have joined the Coalition for Content Provenance and Authenticity Alliance to establish standards for the origin of content they observe. Also on today’s episode, Angela shares some personal experiences using large language models (LLMs) and Google’s own AI tools to illustrate how she sees individuals using AI in the future. Read the episode transcript here. Guest bio Angela Nakalembe is an operations leader, internet safety expert, and advocate for responsible AI development. As an engineering program manager at YouTube, she leads strategic initiatives focused on protecting billions of users through innovative safety features and risk mitigation strategies, work that has earned multiple Google product excellence awards. Nakalembe developed her strategic expertise as a management consultant, when she supported multimillion-dollar technology migrations for Fortune 50 companies. She currently provides mentoring through TechWomen, a U.S. Department of State initiative creating the next generation of women technology leaders worldwide, and she teaches yoga.
