Longtime listeners know that we’re always advocating for ‘AI for good’, but this week we have taken it to a whole new level.  We had the privilege of chatting with James Hodson, Director of the AI for Good Foundation, about ways they have used artificial intelligence to positively-impact the world - from food production to climate change.  James inspired us to find our own ways to use AI for good, and we challenge our listeners to get out there and do some good!

RAG continues to rise

In this fully connected episode, Daniel & Chris discuss NVIDIA GTC keynote comments from CEO Jensen Huang about teaching kids to code.  Then they dive into the notion of “community” in the AI world, before discussing challenges in the adoption of generative AI by non-technical people.  They finish by addressing the evolving balance between generative AI interfaces and search engines.

Should kids still learn to code?

Daniel and Chris are out this week, so we’re bringing you conversations all about AI’s complicated relationship to software developers from other Changelog pods: JS Party, Go Time & The Changelog.

AI vs software devs

Daniel & Chris explore the state of the art in prompt engineering with Jared Zoneraich, the founder of PromptLayer. PromptLayer is the first platform built specifically for prompt engineering.  It can visually manage prompts, evaluate models, log LLM requests, search usage history, and help your organization collaborate as a team.  Jared provides expert guidance in how to be implement prompt engineering, but also illustrates how we got here, and where we’re likely to go next.
