16. Why are animals social?
In this episode we sit down (recorded safely in pre-COVID19 times) with Georgia Tech Professor of Biology, Dr. Mike Goodisman to talk about how sociality, the degree to which individuals in an animal population tend to associate in social groups, has evolved, and how it affects evolution. Dr. Goodisman's focus is in social insects, and we dive deep into how insects have evolved complex social structures and behaviors, we explore the opportunities and perils of generalizing from his work into human social perspectives.

15. How to secure AI against bad actors
Security is an emergent property of good system design and engineering and it's no different with AI. Except it's totally different. In this episode we talk with Dr. Gary McGraw, a key voice in the software security world who has turned his focus to ML security. We discuss his recent publication in which he identifies a taxonomy of 78 particular risks to ML. Follow his work through his organization, the Berryville Institute of Machine Learning and access the paper here.

14. Millipedes, Mars Rovers, and 3D Printed Robots - we explore complex Rheology and Biomechanics with Professor Daniel Goldman
Whew, what a title! In this episode we sit down with Professor Daniel Goldman from the Physics Department at Georgia Tech to discuss how the biomechanics of different organisms interact with complex and dynamic surfaces to enable locomotion. I had to opportunity to tour his lab and speak with each of his graduate students and they are doing some crazy stuff, from supporting NASA with inter-planetary rover design, to building pneumatic millipedes, to robotic particles that interact with each other...cheap, advanced, and 3d printed robots are at the heart of much of the work happening in his CRAB lab (http://crablab.gatech.edu).

Jason does a great job of humanizing the AI and machine learning realm into digestible bits of insight. I’m enjoying learning more about the possibilities of how tech can help us with daily tasks and where things are heading with human computer interaction. Keep it up!
Wonderful Show
Amazing guests. Some of the top entrepreneurial minds in the world analyzing their experiences and trying to figure out what worked, what didn't and why.
Fun and Informative
Jason discusses AI concepts and ideas in an enjoyable and easy to listen to format. His conversations, with guests, are easy to follow and fun. Highly recommend!
