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.

Jaime Benedicto, the Director of Project Bantu Philippines, is this episode’s guest. Project Bantu Philippines uses the music and movements of Capoeira, an Afro-Brazilian art that combines the elements of dance, acrobatics and music, to help children and young people from the poorest neighborhoods in Manila. Project Bantu’s support and classes provide these children, who are often living on the streets, with enjoyable yet structured activities that help reinforce in them important values such as perseverance, respect, compassion and responsibility. This impactful program really is making a difference in their lives, particularly during the COVID-related lockdowns in Manila, which have made the day-to-day challenges that these children face even more difficult.

WHOlives 37:21

37:21

John Renouard, the Founder and Executive Director of WHOlives, joins Charity Talks . On a trip to Africa in 2010, John was shocked to see how little access to clean water many villages he visited had. So, working with college engineering students, he invented the “Village Drill,” which is a low cost, hand-operated water drill, and then started WHOlives. Since then, WHOlives has helped bring clean, safe water to over 12 million people in 40 countries. In addition, when John learned that girls were being subjected to female genital mutilation and essentially sold into slavery as “child brides,” he again decided to do something about it. Working with local police and government authorities, WHOlives has helped support their efforts to enforce the laws prohibiting these appalling practices. Given the impact John and WHOlives has had, it is not surprising that the American Red Cross presented John with an International Hero Award in 2015. (0:37). Website: https://wholives.org/…

StrongMinds 22:23

منذ 2 years22:23

22:23

Sean Mayberry, the founder and CEO of StrongMinds, joins Charity Talks . StrongMinds treats depression suffered by women largely in Africa. For African women, depression is a leading cause of disability. Yet, due to the lack of investment in mental health services, approximately 85% of people in low-income countries – if not more – receive no treatment. As Sean and Brooke discuss, StrongMinds addresses this by providing group interpersonal therapy delivered by lay community health workers. To date, StrongMinds has provided group talk therapy to approximately 260,000 women and adolescents in Uganda and Zambia. 80% of clients are depression-free after treatment, and those results are sustained six months post-treatment. As a result of this success, StrongMinds has brought its treatment model to the United States, where it is already getting positive results. (0:22). Website: https://strongminds.org/…

Its work is internationally recognized as the benchmark for high-quality information about the effectiveness of health care. During the podcast, Catherine and Brooke discuss the process by which Cochrane produces this information, the research groups it has all over the world, and how it communicates its research to health care professionals and the general public. They also discuss some of the recent impactful research findings Cochrane has made, including, for example, in the area of Parkinson’s disease. (0:21). Website: https://www.cochrane.org/…

Rainforest Trust 27:23

Dr. James Deutsch, the CEO of Rainforest Trust, joins Charity Talks . For more than 30 years, Rainforest Trust’s primary mission has been to raise funds in order to make grants in Africa, Asia and South America that preserve and protect land and habitats there. As James and Brooke discuss, by protecting millions of acres of land, Rainforest Trust is saving endangered species from extinction. But its impact goes well beyond that. Rainforest Trust’s work also is helping to ameliorate the effects of climate change, since rainforests keep carbon locked up in their wood and soil, while removing excess CO2 from the air. It also is empowering indigenous people with the resources to preserve their land and culture. These are just some of the positive impacts that Rainforest Trust’s conservation efforts have had.
