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.

What is the status of the social network in the modern organization? And what does an organizational network analysis reveal about the other signals in the Horizon Scanning Document? Online, people are fed up with the consolidated social media platforms and their seemingly clickbaity and annoying algorithms for the feed, and they instead move to smaller and more intimate closed groups. Here they can connect and relate to people, rather than be exposed to news, ads, and less relevant content. This development can be seen in organizational settings too, where employees are staying away from the internal corporate social media, and instead gather around smaller, tribal based channels.…
