Pioneers of AI

Cutting-edge special effects have brought some of the highest-grossing films, like “Avatar” and “Avengers: Endgame,” to life. Historically, these effects are time-consuming and expensive to produce, but that’s changing. Now, AI offers more options. Co-founder and CEO of Metaphysic, Tom Graham, is at the forefront of reshaping Hollywood using AI — building tools that provide more fidelity and realism at a cheaper price. Graham joins Pioneers of AI to talk about how AI is transforming the entertainment industry, how Metaphysic’s technology works, and about his collaboration with director Robert Zemeckis on the film “Here.”Pioneers of AI is made possible with support from Inflection AI.Subscribe to Pioneers of AI: https://listen.pioneersof.ai/SubscribeLearn more about Pioneers of AI: http://pioneersof.ai/Follow Pioneers of AI on all channels: https://linktr.ee/pioneersofaiAt the center of AI is people, so we want to hear from you!

AI is ushering in a new era for humanity. And for Astro Teller, Captain of Moonshots at Alphabet’s X, AI’s transformative power is not just about technology; it’s about our human mindset. At X (no relation to the social media platform of the same name!), the Moonshot Factory’s audacious projects include Taraa, Google Glass, and Waymo. Teller says he cultivates a “10x mindset” for his team to find breakthrough solutions to the world's biggest challenges. Host Dr. Rana el Kaliouby sat down with Teller live on stage at the Masters of Scale Summit to help the audience find their own 10x mindset, extol the power of bold predictions, and explore what it means to be human in the age of AI.Pioneers of AI is made possible with support from Inflection AI.Subscribe to Pioneers of AI: https://listen.pioneersof.ai/SubscribeLearn more about Pioneers of AI: http://pioneersof.ai/Follow Pioneers of AI on all channels: https://linktr.ee/pioneersofaiAt the center of AI is people, so we want to hear from you!

We have all experienced searching for a job. Online platforms have made it easier than ever to share your resume, but harder to stand out in the sea of applicants. AI plays a growing role for job seekers and hiring managers alike. Journalist and author Hilke Schellmann spent years diving into the impact of AI on who gets hired and moves up – or doesn’t – in writing her book "The Algorithm." Schellmann joins Pioneers of AI to talk about how and why she began reporting on AI and jobs, how AI has changed hiring, and how job seekers even leverage AI to give them an edge.Pioneers of AI is made possible with support from Inflection AI.Subscribe to Pioneers of AI: https://listen.pioneersof.ai/SubscribeLearn more about Pioneers of AI: http://pioneersof.ai/Follow Pioneers of AI on all channels: https://linktr.ee/pioneersofaiAt the center of AI is people, so we want to hear from you!

We all know what it’s like to call a medical office and wait on hold, just to provide basic information that only takes a few minutes once someone picks up. Medical workers face this, too, spending hours on calls to share patient details or billing codes. Elad Ferber, co-founder and CEO of Synthpop, is deploying AI agents to take those calls, using synthetic human voices with AI behind them to reduce administrative tedium in healthcare. Hear a Synthpop agent handle a call and more from Elad on how the technology works, along with the ethics of deploying AI to talk to humans and handle sensitive information.Pioneers of AI is made possible with support from Inflection AI.Subscribe to Pioneers of AI: https://listen.pioneersof.ai/SubscribeLearn more about Pioneers of AI: http://pioneersof.ai/Follow Pioneers of AI on all channels: https://linktr.ee/pioneersofaiAt the center of AI is people, so we want to hear from you!
