Hundred Year Podcast

Duncan Eddy has spent years working in the realm of space satellite communications, and now he’s directing his talents toward AI as the Executive Director of the Stanford Center for AI Safety. In this episode, Duncan speaks with Adario Strange to explain why the commercialization of space will continue to fuel our explorations into the Moon and Mars, and how AI-powered robots may be the primary method for deep space exploration in the future. Then the discussion turns toward the topic of AI safety and the algorithm the Stanford group developed to try to help guide the technology in the right direction. Finally, the area of AI super intelligence comes up, and you may be surprised at what Duncan has to say about that given his role as an AI safety advocate.You can find out more about the Stanford Center for AI Safety here:

One of the pioneers of digital imaging joins us to unpack the secrets Adobe has in store for AI imaging in 2024 and beyond. Alexandru Costin is Adobe’s Vice President of Generative AI and he’s been helping to lead the company’s digital art mission for decades. Adario Strange gets Costin to compare the early ‘90s concerns over Photoshop possibly destroying art to the new fears around AI art and video.
Then the two take a deep dive into FireFly, Adobe’s generative AI tool that competes with the likes of Midjourney, Dall-E, and Stable Diffusion, and show how FireFly and third-party AI generators will work with Adobe Premiere for video. Finally, they debate what impact the EU’s AI Act will have on AI business as it now comes into effect.

Hugging Face is one of the leading names in artificial intelligence and now they've launched an initiative to harness AI in the medical field. Leading these efforts is Dr. Cyril Zakka, a fellow at Stanford's Hiesinger Lab where a team of researchers have been creating new intersections between AI, cardiac imaging, and robotic surgery.
Dr. Zakka joins Adario Strange to explain his childhood experience as a coder and later his entry into the medical field, which set him up to be the perfect bridge between AI and medicine. Later, the two unpack the future of medical treatment with AI, what Hugging Face is doing to impact that outcome, and what AI pioneer Geoffrey Hinton winning the Nobel Prize means for how the world perceives and engages the rapidly changing AI space.

The recent election season proved that many traditional mainstream media businesses have lost their way, as social media and independent creators suck up much of the attention and revenue. The rise of generative artificial intelligence would seem to threaten to deepen the news media’s woes, but Nota CEO Josh Brandau has a different vision for how journalists and publishers can harness the power of AI to evolve into the next era of news production.

Adario Strange gets Josh to dive into what moved him from traditional media into the AI startup world, then the two explore the current state of major newsrooms using AI to pivot, publishers fighting AI in court to ensure future profits, and how audiences will need to revamp how they consume information to avoid being pulled into the growing vortex of fake news.
