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 mathematical concepts that power 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.

We have all seen the media and heard the discussions in the communities we lead - non-South African citizens are the target of anger, disappointment and frustration for many South Africans who are facing unemployment, poverty and hunger. Violence is on the rise with Afro-nationals fearing for safety of their families and livelihoods. Is there a role for the church at this moment? Do we turn a blind-eye given how much else we are dealing with in this season? Scripture suggests a radically different path is needed . And so what is our course of action? In this panel discussion we were joined by Bishop Nathi Zondi (Executive, KZNCC) Pastor Robert Ntuli (Theology Team, KZN Covid-19 Churches Respond), Daniel Byamung Dunia (ASONET), Bishop Mataboro Samson (Key Ministries International), Zekhethelo Cele (Attorney, Lawyers for Human Rights), Pastor Tito Haguma (FORGE / UNHCR Social Cohesion Project), Solange Mbonigaba (Tearfund) and Peter Watt (SteerCom, KZN Covid-19 Churches Respond).

Our communities are under enormous stress and anxiety as a result of Covid-19 and the related lockdown and economic shutdown. How could we as the Church respond and support? What could a group of local churches - a LEAN - do to intervene and offer support and love to communities with major psycho-social stressors and needs? This podcast is based on a webinar we held looking at how Churches and LEANs could respond and what some of the basic considerations for putting together a counselling and pastoral care plan are. Enjoy!…

This is a recording of a webinar held on the 11th August 2020 as a part of the KZN Covid-19: Churches Respond Project. The session was for local Church Leaders and members of LEANs asking questions around: Are you concerned about rising levels of gender-based violence (GBV) during COVID-19? Are you worried that survivors may not feel safe to speak to you about what is happening to them? Do you know what to do if they did? Are you grappling with biblical teachings to help address underlying drivers of violence, at home, in church and on the streets? Do you want to open up these conversations in your church, but worry about tensions it might cause? The webinar was co-hosted with the WWSOSA and the KZNCC.
