    Conversation with Eric Olson, Consensus

    Scientific knowledge is growing faster than any researcher can keep up with. Eric Olson, co-founder and CEO of Consensus, is building an AI-powered search engine designed to help researchers navigate millions of scientific papers, synthesize evidence, and accelerate discovery. In this episode, Marcel Salathé talks with Eric about the future of scientific literature in the age of large language models. They discuss how AI is changing literature reviews and how Consensus is building trust through evidence-first design. They also explore the evolving role of journals, the rise of AI-native scientific workflows, and whether research papers themselves may soon look very different. The conversation also offers a candid look at building an AI startup in a rapidly evolving landscape, covering competition with frontier AI models, why focus matters more than "moats," and what founders can learn from building for one of the world's most demanding audiences: scientists.

    Conversation with Patrick Jermann and Francesco Mondada, EPFL

    What and why should we still learn when AI can do so much for us? In this episode, Marcel and EPFL experts Patrick Jermann and Francesco Mondada explore how artificial intelligence is reshaping education, from coding and assessment to the very purpose of learning. Drawing on real experiments at EPFL, they reveal what AI gets right, where it falls short, and why true learning still requires effort, curiosity, and human interaction.

    Conversation with Robert West, EPFL

    What happens when AI stops being just a tool—and starts acting like an autonomous agent? In this episode of Inside AI, host Marcel Salathé speaks with EPFL professor and Applied Machine Learning Days co-founder Bob West about the growing rift shaping today’s AI landscape. Drawing on insights from his sabbatical at Microsoft Research, West unpacks how AI has evolved into a general-purpose technology with real-world power. From the surprising persuasive abilities of large language models, to hidden English-centric biases, to the emerging need for “machine psychology,” the conversation explores how modern AI systems think, adapt, and influence us. They also tackle the risks of AI as a self-improving actor—and the hopeful promise of accelerating scientific discovery and medical breakthroughs. A deep dive into the future of human–machine intelligence, and what it means for the world we’re rapidly entering. Production: Melissa Anchisi

    Conversation with Aldo Podestà, Giotto.ai

    Can a small Swiss lab out-reason trillion-parameter giants? In this episode, Aldo Podestà, founder & CEO of Giotto.ai, explains how his team reached the #1 spot on the ARC-AGI v2 leaderboard—with a ~200M-parameter system scoring 23.19% on an extremely challenging, non-memorization reasoning benchmark. Aldo traces his journey from EPFL math student to entrepreneur, the Kaggle win that sparked the company, and why Giotto spun out a successful vertical product before going 100% R&D. Aldo also talks about why the next big leaps will come from generating small programs to check answers and from better hardware.

    Conversation with Annie Hartley, EPFL

    In this episode, Marcel talks with Annie Hartley, EPFL Professor and Director of the Laboratory for Intelligent Global Health & Humanitarian Response Technologies (LiGHT), about building trustworthy medical AI that works in the field. They cover LiGHT’s cross-institution work with EPFL and Harvard/Ariadne Labs, operational hubs in Rwanda and India, why neutrality matters in humanitarian tech, and how to evaluate models via clinician collaboration and real-world trials. They also discuss Meditron (a medical LLM pipeline), truly open models like Apertus, and MOOVE, a massive open validation platform where experts collaborate to align medical LLMs with real-world standards.
