  • #27: Society & Computational Linguistics (Dolapo Martins)
    Dolapo Martins, a software engineer at Microsoft, discusses her career at the intersection of linguistics, computing, society, and culture.  She finds the linguistics aspect of computational linguistics fascinating because it involves understanding the intricacies of a language and appreciating the diversity of ways that people speak.
    Dolapo discusses the challenges faced by businesses when developing AI-based solutions that can cater to a diverse and multicultural audience. While researchers may not be constrained by the needs of their customer base, businesses must ensure that their solutions are safe and free of any biases that their model may have been trained on. She emphasizes the importance of testing solutions with diverse groups of people to stress test
    and identify any biases in the algorithms.
    We discuss the challenges of detecting offensive language, and Dolapo confesses that it can be the most interesting part of computational linguistics. She also raises the perspective that ancient Greek and Latin that we know of today is not truly representative of how people used the language, since what we know today of those ancient languages comes primarily from plays and political discourse.

  • #25: St Thomas Aquinas, Double Effects, & AI (Dr Brian Green)

    Dr. Brian Green joins us from Santa Clara University, a private Jesuit (Catholic) University in California.  Dr. Green is the Director for Technology Ethics at the Markkula Center for Applied Ethics, the largest center for applied ethics in the US.  He works closely with many Silicon Valley and Fortune 500 companies to help them think thru the ethical implications of technology advancements.  He is a co-chair of the Responsible Use of Technology group at the World Economic Forum and is a member of the Safety-Critical AI expert group at the Partnership on Artificial Intelligence to Benefit People and Society. He also helps to convene several academic discussion groups on AI and human nature involving the Vatican’s Pontifical Council for Culture.

    This is a follow-on discussion to Episode 6 (Kosher Autonomous Cars), where we discussed how a Jewish ethical framework would approach some of the life-or-death decisions that artificial intelligence  agents are now making on a daily basis. 

    I encourage you to connect with Dr Green at https://www.scu.edu/ethics/about-the-center/people/brian-green/ or on LinkedIn at https://www.linkedin.com/in/brian-green-896a3b39/.

  • #24: Evolution of the GPU, & When GPU > CPU (Mark Moyou, PhD)

    Hear the story how the GPU evolved from a lowly graphics chip into the go-to chip for robust AI and ML workloads. Dr. Mark Moyou, Sr Data Scientist at NVIDIA  explains the history of the GPU, why it is different from the more common CPU, and how to decide when to use the GPU in an AI or IOT project. 

    Mark also walks us through his personal path from the Caribbean to a PhD in the US:  how his Chemical Engineering degree helps him think differently about his data science work, how graduate school is like the supreme court, and how hustling is key to success (even when you have a "Dr." in front of your name).  

    Mark is also host of the Caribbean Data Science Podcast! I encourage you to catch it @  https://www.buzzsprout.com/1824487
