I sat down with Dr. Ruchir Puri, the chief scientist of IBM Research, for a wide-ranging discussion on the state of AI today. We talk about everything from AGI and X-risk to reliability in language models, the viability of agents and the pending economic impact of the technology. 

I sat down with Liran Hason, the VP of AI at Coralogix, to talk AI guardrails: what they look like, how they work and why we need them. 

I sat down with Dr. Chris Bishop, a Microsoft technical fellow and the director of Microsoft Research AI for Science, to sink into the details of what AI is actually unlocking for science, and what kind of AI is doing it. 

I sat down with Shaolei Ren, an associate professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering at the University of California, Riverside, to break down his recent research into the water consumption, electricity consumption and public health impact of the data centers being used to power generative AI. 

I sat down with Igor Jablokov, the founder and chairman of Pryon, to talk about the ways in which the field of AI has grown and changed, and where it might go from here. Igor worked as a program director at IBM, developing an early iteration of IBM Watson, before he struck out on his own. His first startup, Yap, was later acquired by Amazon, where it evolved into Alexa. 

At HumanX, I sat down with Dr. David Cox — the VP for AI models at IBM Research and the IBM Director of the MIT-IBM Watson AI Lab — to dissect those complex, nuanced differences between biological brains and the artificial neural networks behind LLMs, and how it all relates to the pursuit of AGI. 

I sat down with Dr. Stefan Leichenauer, SandboxAQ's VP of Engineering, to break down the ways in which he’s bringing the two technologies together. 

I sat down with Dr. Eric Sydell, the founder and CEO of Vero AI, to break down the challenges of oversight, governance and compliance — and the techno-utopia on the horizon — and the ways in which AI can help, hurt, and generally, disrupt everything. 

I sat down with Dr. Nada Sanders, a distinguished professor of supply chain management at Northeastern University, to better understand the impact that tariffs and a trade war could have on the business and field of AI. 

Artificial intelligence is a complicated topic, bound by a number of complex threads — technical science, ethics, safety, regulation, neuroscience, psychology, philosophy, investment and — above all — humanity. On The Deep View: Conversations, Ian Krietzberg, host and Editor-in-Chief at The Deep View, breaks it all down, cutting through the hype to make clear what's important and why you should care.

For Episode 2 of The Deep View: Conversations, we flew to Abu Dhabi to sit down with President Eric Xing of the Mohamed bin Zayed University of Artificial Intelligence, the world’s first AI-only university. We talk about everything from his unconventional journey to MBZUAI, misconceptions about the technology, the reality of progress in the field and the idea that, like the printing press, AI might usher in a new age for humanity, the age of empowerment.

New Jersey's department of labor, in collaboration with USDR and Google.org, has assembled a set of training materials designed to turn off-the-shelf language models into bilingual unemployment insurance experts. We sat down with two of the people behind the launch to break it down.

We sat down with Dr. Missy Cummings, who served as one of the U.S. Navy’s first female fighter pilots and now works as the director of George Mason University’s Autonomy and Robotics Center. Cummings, an engineer, has been studying autonomous systems for years – today, we break down the autonomy challenge in self-driving cars: how they work, their enormous limitations and a path to a feasible self-driving future. 

We sat down with Vijay Balasubramaniyan, the co-founder and CEO of cybersecurity firm Pindrop. And today, we’re breaking down audio deepfakes and deepfake detection; what levers are in place to indicate whether a piece of audio is real or synthetic, and how those levers technically work. 

We sat down with Dr. Nada Sanders, an expert in forecasting and human-technology interaction and the author of The Humachine, a book that explores a coming future of AI-enabled connection between men and machine. And today, we’re breaking down the pandemic-fueled rise of AI, and the many levers that will impact our ever-more digital future. 

We sat down with Dr. Jerry Chow, an IBM fellow and the Director of IBM’s Quantum Infrastructure. And today, we’re breaking down what quantum computing is, why it’s important, how it fits into the growing realm of artificial intelligence and what about quantum is real (and what’s just plain hype).  

We sat down with Irina Raicu, the director of the Internet Ethics Program at the Markkula Center for Applied Ethics at Santa Clara University. And today, we’re breaking down the ethics of artificial intelligence, those moral, philosophical challenges that are already resulting from the deployment of generative AI technologies. 

I sat down with Dor Skuler, the founder and CEO of Intuition Robotics, to talk about the advent of digital companionship.
