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.

SHARING!

Reflection Questions: Do you imagine God as Someone(s) who gets excited? Or do you picture God as dour and austere? Read Zephaniah 3:14-20 and Nehemiah 8:9-12 and force yourself to fixate on this fundamental festive facet of God’s personality. How do you feel about the fact that God says that leaders should be followed in a way that makes them glad and joyful? (see Heb.13:17; 2 Cor. 2:1-2). Who do you joyfully listen to (even when they tell you that you’re wrong, and their leadership seems perilous and foolish)? Who is someone that Jesus hangs out with, and you have a problem with the fact that Jesus is hanging out with that person? (see Jonah 4 and Luke 15:30, 19:7). When have you felt verklempt with joy because God expressly chose to come hang out the ordinary and the odd? How have you recently reveled in the fact that God is excited to call you out of hiding and expose everything shameful you’ve ever done, and in so doing – envelope you in His joy and grant you freedom? (See John 4:29) The post SHARING! appeared first on East Charlotte Pres .…
