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.

Let us know your thoughts. We would love to hear from you. In this conversation, Dr. Nehal Mehta and Dr. Thomas Nero discuss the critical relationship between systemic inflammation and cardiovascular health, particularly in patients with psoriasis. He emphasizes the importance of understanding how an overactive immune system can lead to increased risks of heart disease and other health issues. The discussion also covers lifestyle changes that can help manage inflammation, including diet, exercise, and mental health support. takeaways Systemic inflammation can lead to cardiovascular disease. Psoriasis is linked to increased heart attack risk. Visceral fat contributes to inflammation and diabetes. Weight loss can improve response to treatment. Lifestyle changes are crucial for managing inflammation. Family support plays a role in health management. Mental health is important in managing chronic conditions. Dietary changes can significantly impact inflammation levels. Regular exercise is beneficial for heart health.

Let us know your thoughts. We would love to hear from you. Prof. Stefan Neubauer and Dr. Thomas Nero discuss two recent papers on the utility of coronary inflammation imaging on CT coronary angiography and how that translates to increased heart events. Beyond cholesterol, coronary inflammation is being revealed to be a significant risk factor with future treatments under development. Prof. Neubauer is the head of the Division of Cardiovascular Medicine and Director of the Oxford Centre for Clinical Magnetic Resonance Research (OCMR) at the University of Oxford and Past President of the Society for Cardiovascular Magnetic Resonance (SCMR). He co-authored two recently published landmark papers: Farina NH, Mehta NN, Teague HL, et al. Inflammatory risk and cardiovascular events in patients without obstructive coronary artery disease: the ORFAN multicentre, longitudinal cohort study. Lancet. 2024;403(10392):1823-1835. doi:10.1016/S0140-6736(24)00596-8 Farina, C. J., Davidson, M. H., Shah, P. K., Stark, C., Lu, W., Shirodaria, C., Wright, T., Antoniades, C. A., & Nilsson, J.
