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.

A couple of years ago, Stephen Oliver embarked on a journey from Tarifa, Spain’s southernmost point, to Nordkapp, Norway, traversing mountain passes, navigating high-speed autobahns, and immersing himself in the cultures of ten countries.

As the year begins, many riders set New Year’s resolutions, often centred around sacrifice—cutting out indulgences, hitting the gym, or saving money by skipping small pleasures. All these resolutions centre around some sense of pain, which is why we often give up on our resolutions quickly. But what if your resolution fuelled your passion for two wheels instead? This year, aim for a win-win goal: plan one motorcycle adventure that stretches your comfort zone while enriching your life with unforgettable experiences. Research shows that setting specific, achievable goals significantly boosts success. So, why not resolve to finally go on that trip and let the journey be your reward? On this encore performance of Adventure Rider Radio, we go back to 2021, when Keith Futcher was on the show. He shared a goal he set for himself: to ride to the Sahara to see a sunset he had seen in a glossy magazine photo.
