Deep Learning

In this episode of the O’Reilly Data Show, I spoke with Rajat Monga, who serves as a director of engineering at Google and manages the TensorFlow engineering team. We talked about how he ended up working on deep learning, the current state of TensorFlow, and the applications of deep learning to products at Google and other companies.

Building Intelligent Applications with Deep Learning and TensorFlow

This week’s guest is Kimberly Powell, senior director of business development at NVIDIA. In an&nbsp;interview conducted at the 2016 AI Summit in San Francisco, Powell spoke with TechEmergence about GPUs&nbsp;and the factors that are making them easier to use, how Nvidia&nbsp;and others are working to make this technology more accessible to small businesses and startups, and about some of Nvidia’s and other similar players' innovations in the deep learning field.

What is a GPU, and How Are Companies Using Them Now?

Think of our inaugural episode of The AI Podcast as a guide for the perplexed.  Host Michael Copeland speaks with NVIDIA's Will Ramey about the history behind today's AI boom and the key concepts you need to know to get your head around a technology that's reshaping the world.

Ep. 1: Deep Learning 101 - Will Ramey, NVIDIA Senior Manager for GPU Computing

Previous episodes discussed deep learning systems trained to master games like Chess, Go, and even Texas Hold 'Em. But training a deep neural net on a racing game like Mario Kart 64? What can you learn from that? A lot, it turns out, explains Kevin Hughes.

Ep. 17: Training an AI to Play Mario Kart 64

I'm always a little shocked when I see how much venture investing goes into the healthcare space, which brings me to the subject of this week's episode: just how the healthcare industry&nbsp;is (and isn't) being impacted by innovations in AI technology. Guest Steve Gullans of Boston-Based Excel Venture Management&nbsp;talks&nbsp;about some of the various healthcare-related ML and AI applications that he sees being brought to light, and touches&nbsp;on which innovations have a better chance of getting blocked and redirected by parties of interest&nbsp;and those that&nbsp;have more promise in being accepted and rolled out sooner. By the end of this episode, listeners will have a&nbsp;more clear picture of practical considerations in&nbsp;healthcare technology adoption, reasons&nbsp;that are&nbsp;often less about quality or potential of the technology and more about&nbsp;clarity on ROI for investors.

AI Healthcare Applications – and Why Doctors Don't Want to Be Replaced

In this episode, discover how chatbots and conversational agents can provide you an advantage in the realms of customer support, product, support, lead engagement, and more, and learn the theory behind creating useful chatbots you can use in your own business. Right now, if we intend to find a piece of information or purchase something on the Internet, we might use a search engine that provides us with a list of sites we can browse in order to find ourselves a resolution for that intent. This week’s guest, Chief Scientist at Conversica, Dr. Sid J Reddy, talks about how AI and ML can usher in the next a new era of search software, one that will bring you a faster, more accurate resolution to your intent. Most importantly, Dr. Reddy discusses how chatbot technology can be integrated into areas such as customer service, product support, and lead engagement. By the end of the episode, listeners will have a better idea of the importance of collecting data and how they can use that data to &nbsp;to build chatbot templates they can use in multiple domains and applications.

What Chatbots Can Do, and Cannot Do

In this episode of AI in Industry, we explore how artificial intelligence can be use to manipulate human behavior - in gaming and in business. We explore how game designers use psychology and machine learning to drive their own desired outcomes, leaving users to "feel" in control. Dr. Charles Isbell teaches machine learning at Georgia Tech. He explores the manipulative elements of game design, and how some of the same AI approaches are likely being used at tech giants like Amazon and Facebook. In this episode you learn how businesses leverage the "illusion of choice" with subtly influential AI techniques. Charles also helps us understand which businesses will be most able to use AI to guide user behavior in the years ahead.
