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.

Invest Ottawa always takes a lead role in local economic development, especially when it comes to the technology sector. The organization hit some important milestones in 2023: the tenth anniversary of Invest Ottawa’s founding, the sixth anniversary of Bayview Yards and the graduation of 10 more companies from the IO Accelerator program. The leader of Invest Ottawa is Michael Tremblay, who took the helm in 2017 after a successful career at technology companies such as Microsoft, SAP, JDSU, EDS and Digital Equipment Corporation. In the episode of Techopia Live with Ottawa Business Journal publisher Michael Curran, Tremblay delves into the inner workings of Invest Ottawa, including how the organization is adapting to a changing economic climate, an update in the organization’s strategic plan, what comes next for Area X.O and a national expansion for SheBoot.
