AI Unleashed: Turning Humans into Superhumans
10/31/24 • 43 min
We're delighted to welcome back AI pioneer, Reddy Mallidi. Reddy has been busy since we last spoke, channelling his knowledge and passion into writing a book, AI Unleashed.
The true power of AI is not in replacing humans, but in creating super humans.
Reddy shares with us how he has numerous conversations that start with ‘We need AI’ to which his immediate response is ‘Yes, but what for? What is the use case?’
We'll hear first-hand accounts from his early days experimenting with neural networks in the 1990s to a standout achievement at Autodesk, where AI helped him tackle the colossal task of screening 50 million accounts. This episode illuminates the immense power of AI and the technological strides in computing power, data availability, and algorithm development that have brought us to this transformative point in history.
We explore how AI is reshaping the landscape of sales and HR, offering strategic benefits that enhance business efficiency. Discover how AI can sift through mountains of unstructured data, providing sales teams with pivotal insights to close high-probability deals and improve forecasting. We also dive into the ethical considerations of AI in HR, with cautionary tales like Amazon's early machine learning tool that inadvertently reinforced gender biases.
As Reddy highlights, when harnessed thoughtfully, AI serves as a powerful tool to augment human capabilities across various sectors, from finance to winemaking, all while ensuring data security and a positive organisational impact.

Empathy, Simplicity and Storytelling in Tech - Joe Baguley CTO EMEA Broadcom
As the days get shorter and the weather becomes gloomy Sam and Vic are joined by the legendary Joe Baguley to brighten your day on a podcast filled with humour and insight.
Joe, Chief Technology Officer at Broadcom openly shares his motivations, driven by a lifelong curiosity and the knack for simplifying the complex. Known for his memorable "kittens and chickens" analogy to introduce Cloud, Joe's unique approach to technology intertwines with his ability to make intricate concepts simple.
Embracing the strength of neurodiversity, we venture into how diverse thinking enhances problem-solving and teaming, offering fresh perspectives even in traditional settings like the military.
We were thoroughly entertained as Joe shared how influencing without authority can be achieved through genuine conviction and emotional resonance. This philosophy has guided his leadership style, notably during his time at VMware, where he inspired an entire community to embrace change and innovation. Our conversation highlights the art of connecting people with technology, emphasizing the importance of translating technical jargon into language everyone can relate to.
