This episode of Deep Dives with Iman, featured by Radio 4 Brainport and hosted by Iman Mossavat, features Luis Serrano, founder of Serrano Academy, YouTuber, and author of Grokking Machine Learning. Luis shares his approach to making mathematics accessible and relatable. His career spans mathematician, machine learning engineer at Google, AI educator at Udacity and Apple, Quantum AI researcher at Zapata, and now full-time educator through his YouTube channel. He believes math should feel like music—enjoyable for everyone, not just experts. Listeners will encounter insights on abstraction, inclusive education without gatekeeping, and the growing role of emotional intelligence alongside AI.

A celebration of Europe Day, which marks the Schuman Declaration's 75th anniversary. The Europarade in Eindhoven is likely to include various events and activities celebrating peace, integration, and European cooperation

In this episode of Deep Dives with Iman, host Iman Mossavat speaks with Prof. Yulia Sandamirskaya, head of the Center for Cognitive Computing in Life Sciences at ZHAW, Switzerland.

Her research centers on developing neuromorphic embodied AI for robotic applications, particularly in elderly care and healthcare. She emphasizes the need for perception and efficiency in robots that interact with humans, describing how her work uses dynamical systems and attractor networks inspired by biological processes to meet these demands. The discussion also explores how her models provide alternative, data-efficient approaches to building more robust AI systems.

In this episode of Deep Dives with Iman, Iman Mossavat interviews Tara Steele, Founder and Director of the Safe AI for Children Alliance. The conversation explores how children are affected by the emergence of grief bots, chatbots designed to simulate a deceased person, and the lack of understanding regarding their impact. Steele highlights the importance of understanding how AI may affect children, given their developing cognitive capacities. She also emphasizes the need for effective safeguards and educational resources to protect young people in a world increasingly shaped by AI.

Europe and the European Union are under pressure. Will the EU reinvent itself? A European army? What are the actual shared values? A dialogue about mutual dependencies. Enough to inform and discuss!During the EU Parade you will see what is happening locally and (inter)nationally from the European Union. Of course, extra attention will also be paid to the current challenges and dilemmas for the EU and certainly also for the citizens.It will be a lively day with a broad program. The story will be central. After all, what is the story of Europe?
