Artificial intelligence is evolving at an unprecedented pace—what does that mean for the future of technology, venture capital, business, and even our understanding of ourselves? Award-winning journalist and writer Anil Ananthaswamy joins us for our latest episode to discuss his latest book Why Machines Learn: The Elegant Math Behind Modern AI . Anil helps us explore the journey and many breakthroughs that have propelled machine learning from simple perceptrons to the sophisticated algorithms shaping today’s AI revolution, powering GPT and other models. The discussion aims to demystify some of the underlying math that powers modern machine learning to help everyone grasp this technology impacting our lives, even if your last math class was in high school. Anil walks us through the power of scaling laws, the shift from training to inference optimization, and the debate among AI’s pioneers about the road to AGI—should we be concerned, or are we still missing key pieces of the puzzle? The conversation also delves into AI’s philosophical implications—could understanding how machines learn help us better understand ourselves? And what challenges remain before AI systems can truly operate with agency? If you enjoy this episode, please subscribe and leave us a review on your favorite podcast platform.

On this episode we are continuing our series of interviews with the current candidates for President of the Southern Baptist Convention. Dr. Albert Mohler, President of Southern Baptist Theological Seminary in Louisville, KY, spoke with me about his conversion, his career serving Southern Baptists, and the blessings and challenges facing the Southern Baptist Convention. I trust you will find the interview both information and enjoyable. One note: because of Dr. Mohler’s travel schedule and the tech we use to record the audio is not quite up to our normal standards. Nonetheless, I think you will agree at the end that the content was well worth the dip in audio quality. ------ Follow Dr. Mohler on Twitter…
