Season 4 will explore one of humanity's most rapidly advancing and impactful changes: what does it mean to be human in the age of AI when computers and robots are accomplishing more human functions? How will AI with human-level skills influence us and enhance the world around us? How will we change AI, and how will it change us?

Theory and Practice opens the doors to the cutting edge of biology and computer science through conversations with leaders in the field. The podcast is hosted by Anthony Philippakis (a cardiologist, genomicist, and Venture Partner at GV) and Alex Wiltschko (neuroscientist, AI researcher, CEO of Osmo, and Entrepreneur in Residence at GV).
