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.

We know the story. Three women. A London Office. A missing colleague. And a pandemic. Three women wake one morning to discover that a colleague has vanished in the night. Gone. Poof. Not a bit of a trace. The clue to the story lies in a play that has just opened in a London Theatre. The missing colleague has vanished into the world of that play and has become engaged in a grand debate about the roles of women in modern society. But the three women in the office are not part of the debate. They are earning a living. They are caring for family. They trying to decide what they need to do today in order to be ready for tomorrow, while worrying about their friend. A play about the world of George Bernard Shaw and Karl Pearson that takes no guff from either.

She could have been somebody. A real contender. If there hadn’t been a global economic depression. If the world hadn’t been engaged in a world war. And if she hadn’t been a woman. Through Fate or Good Fortune or the simple dedication of someone who was not discouraged by rejection, she came to lead the Mathematical Tables Project, a quirky work-relief office that was intended to give employment to workers who were unable to find a job. She turned it into the world’s most power computing organization. At least the most powerful organization before computing people were replaced by computing machines. She did calculations for the government, for the military, for scientists and engineers. They were championed by Einstein, by John von Neuman, professors from Cornell and MIT. She dined at the White House and sat at tables of power. Until she was forgotten. Forgotten by a country that is more constant in its love of technology than it is in its love of people. A story of Gertrude Blanch, her best friend Ida Rhodes, and their improbably employer, the Mathematical Tables Project. A story of love, dedication, courage and (brace yourselves) long division.
