1 [The Future of AI] AI and the Physical World with Pieter Abbeel, Co-founder of Covariant and Daniela Rus, Professor at MIT 41:32

Robots that can recycle, robotic pills that enable incision free surgeries. In each of these examples, we have to think about the body of the robot, we have to think about the brain of the robot, and what is the interaction between the robot and the users.” - Daniela Rus Hear about the latest advances in robotics from those working in the forefront of the field. Daniela Rus is a Professor of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science at MIT and Director of the Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory.

Guests: *Jason Citron*, Co-Founder & CEO, Discord *Danny Rimer*, Partner, Index Ventures With over 4 billion people on the internet, you can take just about any niche – weird black-and-white artwork, crochet cat dolls, candy commercials from the noughties – and it will be huge. In this conversation between Danny Rimer, senior partner at Index Ventures, and Jason Citron, co-founder and CEO of Discord, the pair discuss how the company became the ‘town square’ for creators and their fans to come together, and what Discord has done to avoid the division and polarisation that plagues much of the internet. Jason starts by talking about the unexpected path Discord took from a platform primarily about friends meeting before and after games, to a place where people could join communication channels known as ‘servers’ to explore their shared interest in everything from TV shows to music. Over 150 million people use Discord every month, with millions of servers made by creators and their audiences. Jason goes on to talk about the surprising importance of voice chat as something that strikes a balance between rich emotional texture and high attentional demands. Danny moves the conversation onto Discord’s unusually exacting – and refreshing – approach to community moderation, and Jason admits his lack of premonition in the early days about the success of the business. He goes on to note the convergence between fans’ desire to support and be closer to creators on the one hand, and on the other, the move away from advertising and towards direct payments for creators. Jason concludes with how Kanye West has used Discord to give fans a greater say over his creative process, and offers some remarks about the truly global spread of Discord’s users.…
