In this episode we sit down (recorded safely in pre-COVID19 times) with Georgia Tech Professor of Biology, Dr. Mike Goodisman to talk about how sociality, the degree to which individuals in an animal population tend to associate in social groups, has evolved, and how it affects evolution. Dr. Goodisman's focus is in social insects, and we dive deep into how insects have evolved complex social structures and behaviors, we explore the opportunities and perils of generalizing from his work into human social perspectives.

Security is an emergent property of good system design and engineering and it's no different with AI. Except it's totally different. In this episode we talk with Dr. Gary McGraw, a key voice in the software security world who has turned his focus to ML security. We discuss his recent publication in which he identifies a taxonomy of 78 particular risks to ML. Follow his work through his organization, the Berryville Institute of Machine Learning and access the paper here.

Whew, what a title! In this episode we sit down with Professor Daniel Goldman from the Physics Department at Georgia Tech to discuss how the biomechanics of different organisms interact with complex and dynamic surfaces to enable locomotion. I had to opportunity to tour his lab and speak with each of his graduate students and they are doing some crazy stuff, from supporting NASA with inter-planetary rover design, to building pneumatic millipedes, to robotic particles that interact with each other...cheap, advanced, and 3d printed robots are at the heart of much of the work happening in his CRAB lab (http://crablab.gatech.edu).

What drives us to buy the things we buy? How do we research the products we need, buy the products we don't need, and make decisions in a world where companies can use sophisticated technology to serve us with highly tailored information and ads? What will the future of buying be like as technology continues to march forward? We sit down to discuss this and more with my friend Mayukh Dass, Associate Dean of Graduate Programs and Research and Professor of Marketing at Texas Tech University.

This episode is for everyone, regardless of technical depth, who has an interest in how our society and government are grappling with the changes that AI will bring to our world. We sit down with Mina Hanna, the Co-Chair of the Policy Committee of the IEEE Global Initiative on Ethics of Autonomous and Intelligent Systems (i.e. AI) and discuss his work with the White House, Congress, the United Nations, and other organizations which develop and promote principles, policy and law around the ethics of AI. I promise, there's plenty of laughter and stories, so get lost in our conversation and we hope you enjoy!

If you were in jail, would you want AI deciding when you get out? Turns out that parole boards do a better job at releasing criminals when using AI as measured by re-arrest rates! But these systems need oversight and transparency and we must ensure they make our world better and not perpetuate historical bias. AI Criminologist (it's a thing!) Renée Cummings joins me on the podcast for an impassioned and informative conversation about how AI is changing our criminal justice system and how this can enable better outcomes but requires oversight and that everyone has a voice.

Andy Pandharikar, CEO of Commerce.ai, and his team have raised millions in seed funding for their AI company by crowd sourcing it on seedinvest.com rather than going to traditional venture capital firms. In this episode, Andy and Jason Schlachter chat about what Commerce.ai does, and how Andy and his team managed to raise so much money from many small investors and how this lets him build his business differently. In the second half of this podcast, we discuss the nature of consciousness and AI, genetic engineering, cold fusion and much more in this fun conversation. Stick around to the end, and let us know your thoughts on these topics http://www.wewonderpodcast.com.

Last year Elon Musk said we're probably living in a simulation, but he's not the only one to make such claims. Serious scientists at MIT and elsewhere see the evidence stacking up in favor of such a hypothesis. Is it simulations all the way down?? Join host, Jason Schlachter, and special guest Alexei Samoylov, AI practitioner and Physics prodigy as we discuss.

A world in which the troubles of our day melt away as we defer to the realism of computer generated reality, a virtual reality (VR), is not yet upon us, and yet science fiction tells us a cautionary tale. In this episode we're joined by Vance Souders, VR expert and Founder of Plas.md, as we explore the state of the art for VR, a bit of history, and the challenges of developing compelling VR applications.

Conversational interfaces allow us to talk to our machines to get stuff done. Think of Siri, Alexa, and Ok Google, and how much they've integrated themselves into our lives and our homes, and now consider that this is early days. How did we get here? Where are we going with this tech? Join us as I speak with Vineet Khosla, one of the creators of Siri and leader of SiriKit, and now an AI leader at Uber.
