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.

Deo Kato made history as the first person to run from Cape Town to London—a journey of truly epic proportions.

Over 518 days and across 21 countries, he pushed the limits of human endurance to achieve what most would consider impossible.

In his first in-depth interview since completing this monumental feat, Deo opens up about a harrowing chapter of his journey: being illegally detained in South Sudan for three weeks, with his loved ones left in agonising uncertainty about his safety and whereabouts.

We delve into Deo’s inspiring mission to trace the story of human migration from Africa to the rest of the world, uncovering how his incredible odyssey mirrors the struggles and triumphs of contemporary migrant journeys.

This episode is a celebration of the unbreakable human spirit and the transformative power of adventure.

From moments of profound connection with strangers to the raw physical and emotional challenges he overcame, Deo’s story will leave you awestruck, inspired, and deeply moved.
