Ep 12 The Importance Of Turf Conferences Behind The Turf Brought To You By Nadeem From Colin Campbell Chemicals podcast

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.

This episode begins with a brief talk about my upcoming US trip before the main part of the podcast where I interview Delphene Tseng who is founder of a company called Landseer communications. I first met Delphene through a Superintendent in Victoria, Andrew Anderson, before I did this interview. I was really interested in hearing what she's doing to help golf courses talk about themselves, promote themselves from an environmental and sustainability POV, and work with the first green programme that we have adopted here in Australia as well as Audubon international. As Delphene puts on her website “Every course has its own signature hole; every course has its own story. Tell your neighbours about the salamanders that live by the healthy water on your course. Show the world the native flowers you planted to create a pollinator habitat. Let everyone hear the birdsong that floats between the morning fog. Big or small, we can help you tell the story that touches the heart of your community.” Landseer Website You Tube channel where our VLOG will be for the US turf conference Campbell Chemicals X Account Campbell Chemicals Facebook To apply for the ASTMA CPD points: • Log into the ASTMA website members section • Choose ‘manage your CPD’ under the membership tab • Go to submit activity • Choose POD as activity code • Under activity name enter the unique code for this podcast as heard at the end of the episode This episode is produced by The Social Media Birdie in conjunction with The Golfing Greenkeeper podcast.…
