    Raffi Krikorian Says "We Don't Have Much Time Left" to Rein in AI

    Harry's guest this week is Raffi Krikorian, chief technology officer and managing director at Emerson Collective, the social change organization founded by Laurene Powell Jobs. Krikorian is the former vice president of engineering at Twitter (now X), where he was responsible for getting rid of the Fail Whale and making the company’s backend infrastructure more reliable; the former director of Uber's Advanced Technology Center in Pittsburgh, where he oversaw the launch of the world's first fleet of self-driving cars; and then the chief technology officer at the Democratic National Committee, where he helped rebuild the party's technology infrastructure after the Russian hacking debacle of 2016. At Emerson Collective, Krikorian built the technology organization, leads the development of data products, and works to upgrade the back offices of the non-profits Emerson works with. On top of all that, he recently launched a podcast called Technically Optimistic, where he’s taking a deep dive into the way AI is challenging us all to think differently about the future of work, education, policy, regulation, creativity, copyright, and many other areas. The show is a must-listen for anyone who cares about how we can build on AI to transform society for the better while minimizing the collateral damage. Harry talked with Krikorian about why he moved to Emerson Collective, why and how he started the podcast, and what he really thinks about what government should be doing to prepare for the waves of social change AI will bring.

  3. How ActiveLoop Is Building the Back End for Generative AI

    How ActiveLoop Is Building the Back End for Generative AI

    Generative AI is going to change how we do things across the entire economy, including the fields Harry covers on the show, namely healthcare delivery, drug discovery, and drug development. But we’re still just starting to figure out exactly how it’s going to change things. For example, AI is already speeding up the process of discovering new biological targets for drugs and designing molecules to hit those targets—but whether that will actually lead to better medicines, or create a new generation of AI-driven pharmaceutical companies, are still unanswered questions.  One thing that’s for sure is that generative AI isn’t magic. You can’t just  sprinkle it like pixie dust over an existing project or dataset and expect wonderful things to happen automatically. In fact, just to use the data you already have, you have to you may have to invest a lot in the new infrastructure and tools needed to train a generative model. And that’s the part of the puzzle Harry focuses on in today's interview with David Buniatyan. He’s the founder of a company called ActiveLoop, which is trying to address the need for infrastructure capable of handling large-scale data for AI applications. He has a background in neuroscience from Princeton University, where he was part of a team working on reconstructing neural connectivity in mouse brains using petabyte-scale imaging data. At ActiveLoop, David has led the development of Deep Lake, a database optimized for AI and deep learning models trained on equally large datasets. Deep Lake manages data in a tensor-native format, allowing for faster iterations when training generative models. David says the company’s goal is to take over the boring stuff. That means removing the burden of data management from scientists and engineers, so they can focus on the bigger questions—like making sure their models are training on the right data—and ultimately innovate faster.
