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.

Rochelle Graham-Campbell is the Co-Founder and CEO of Alikay Naturals. As BlackOnyx77, Rochelle was one of the first SIX women on YouTube talking about natural hair. After big chopping her hair for the second time, she realized that she needed to grow it back quickly and decided to make a growth oil using her Jamaican heritage as a guide. Soon people began asking her if they could purchase her oil, so she took $100 in tips she earned during a shift at Olive Garden and made her first batch and soon Alikay Naturals was born. On this episode, she talks about that moment and what it has taken to grow Alikay into a multi-million dollar enterprise.
