    Trustworthy AI

    Here we dive into one of the most timely and important topics in tech: Trustworthy AI. What does it really mean for artificial intelligence to be “trustworthy”? And why should it matter to you? To help us unpack these questions, we’re joined by Farhana Faruqe, a data scientist, researcher, and entrepreneur, specializing in research related to Trustworthy AI, and Dr. Larry Medsker, a leading expert in AI ethics and policy. With experience in neural networks, AI systems, and policy-making, the two bring a wealth of insight into how we can, and must, develop artificial intelligence that is safe, ethical, and accountable.

    Brain Organoids: Unlocking Mysteries of Neuroscience

    In this episode, we’re diving into a fascinating intersection of cutting-edge science and data innovation. As technology continues to evolve, researchers are increasingly turning to brain organoids, (miniature, lab-grown models of the human brain) to unravel some of the most complex mysteries of neuroscience. We’re joined by three brain organoid experts: Thomas Hartung, Professor of Environmental Health and Engineering at Johns Hopkins University; Jack Van Horn, Professor of Data Science and Psychology at the University of Virginia;  and Lulu Jiang, Assistant Professor of Neuroscience, also at the University of Virginia. Together, they’ll shed light on how brain organoid technology is reshaping our understanding of the brain, and how data science is playing a crucial role in unlocking its secrets.

    Surviving the Data Deluge

    One of the most pressing challenges in our increasingly data-driven world is the Data Deluge—the overwhelming flood of information that we generate and record every single day. With us are three experts from the University of Virginia’s School of Data Science. Phil Bourne, a professor of biomedical engineering and the founding dean of the school of data science, is joined by Terence Johnson and Alex Gates, both assistant professors of data science. Together, they have been exploring innovative methods to make sense of the vast oceans of data we’re all swimming in. This episode unpacks the challenges of the data deluge—what it means for businesses, researchers, and society at large—and explore the strategies we can use to navigate it. How do we make sense of so much information? How do we ensure the ethical use of this data? And what opportunities does this overwhelming flood of data open up for the future?

    Transforming Spotify Data Into Art

    Many of us look forward to our Spotify wrapped at the end of the year. It's fun to see your whole year in music reflected back to you in the form of auras and moods and, of course, ranked lists, all powered by the cold, hard data of our listening habits. But there's so much more data available to visualize as art. That's what our guest, Pete Cybriwsky does. Pete is an entrepreneur and an award winning artist building at the intersection of data and art. In this podcast, you'll hear him in conversation with Lane Rasberry wikimedian in residence at the UVA School of data science.  If you want to learn more about Pete's work, check out his new app Day By Data. To turn your spotify data into art, visit ngenart.com.
