“Without AI, I don’t think we can solve the world’s problems today.”

Guru Banavar is one of the world’s foremost leaders in AI. After developing the Watson AI research & development group with IBM, he’s gone on to give touring lectures on Artificial Intelligence — including at the Nobel Peace Prize ceremony (twice!) — and, to serve at Viome as the Chief Technical Officer, exploring the many links between AI and neuroscience.

In this episode, Guru and Naveen cover:

What can we do with AI that we can’t do without it? Is Guru worried about AI taking over? How does Naveen manage to equate BitCoin with poop? (You read that right) What is “Artificial General Intelligence,” and how far are we from creating it? What’s the crossover of neuroscience and AI

...and more!
