  • A corporate podcast led by a corporate shill

    An incredibly inane podcast designed to convince the listener how integral AI is to corporate workflows. Absolute drivel. Gladwell should be ashamed to be the voice of this.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

The Quantum Shift in Biomedical Discovery
Q: What is the practical difference quantum brings to biomedical research beyond speedups?
Quantum enables modeling of complex molecular interactions in ways AI alone cannot, allowing precise predictions for drug-target interactions, especially in rare diseases, by focusing on physical properties rather than relying solely on historical data.
Unlocking Our Quantum Future
Q: How can non-technical roles prepare for the implications of quantum technology?
Scientists need to articulate where they are, and we need discussions in existing forums for AI and classical computing on how quantum can expand possibilities.
Unlocking Our Quantum Future
Q: What safeguards or policies do you implement in your teams to build quantum capabilities responsibly?
At IBM Research, we have developed algorithms that will not be broken by quantum or classical computer, and we are proactive in transitioning from old to new encryption methods.
How Infrastructure is Powering the Age of AI
Q: What advice would you give yourself 10 years ago to better prepare you for today?
Be open to radical change and set big goals, because pursuing them will lead you to unexpected opportunities.
How Infrastructure is Powering the Age of AI
Q: Can you walk me through what has to happen from your perspective, from the infrastructure perspective, to make the AI explosion work?
We have to ensure robust hardware that can support massive amounts of data processing and timely analytics, while also being able to manage exponential data growth.
