As we know, deep learning is transforming every industry it touches, but it can be challenging for not only small enterprises, but companies of all shapes and sizes to know where to start and how to apply AI to help optimise their work and save money. Speaking at the Deep Learning Summit in Toronto earlier this month, it was great to chat to Mai to hear how Sightline Innovation’s work has progressed over the last year and to chat about some of the new projects they’re working on.

Yolanda is an AI Policy Researcher at The AI Initiative of The Future Society, a think-and-do-tank incubated at Harvard Kennedy School of Government. Her research focuses on governance and policy to shape the rise of AI to benefit society broadly while mitigating societal risks, including algorithmic bias, fairness, privacy, cybersecurity, safety, and impact on employment and inclusion.

Neural networks have recently been applied to many biological problems, including drug discovery. Applications of DNNs combined with domain expertise can help design de novo druglike compounds and generate large virtual chemical libraries, which can be more efficiently screened for in silico drug discovery purposes. Polina describes aspects of applications of deep adversarial networks and reinforcement learning for molecular de novo design.

Jade is a researcher with the Governance of Artificial Intelligence Program (GovAI) at the Future of Humanity Institute (University of Oxford). Her research focuses on the governance of emerging dual-use technologies, with a specific focus on firm-government relations in the US and China with respect to advanced artificial intelligence. Jade has a background in engineering, international law, and policy design and evaluation.

Mining and analyzing text helps organizations find valuable business insights in corporate data. Too often we find the common text mining techniques are not effective in many real-world corporate settings, in particular when dealing with short snippets, boilerplate text collected in forms and repeated text due to cut and paste authoring. Learn more from Yvonne Li on this week's episode of the podcast.

At the AI in Finance Summit in New York earlier this Autumn, Eunice caught up with one of our speakers, Peggy Tsai. Peggy is Vice President in the Analytics & Data department at Morgan Stanley Wealth Management and is responsible for leading the adoption of Data Governance standards and processes across Wealth Management. Hear what they had to discuss on the podcast.

On this week’s episode, Maithra, PhD Candidate and research scientist at Google Brain discusses her work in the science of Deep Learning. Eunice from the RE•WORK team chats with Maithra about the applications of her current work and how Google Brain are using neural networks in diagnostics, as well as to predict which instances are likely to give rise to maximal expert disagreement in healthcare.

On this week's episode of Women in AI, Sarah shares her most cutting-edge work in AI and healthcare, and delves into their 10-year plan to transform the NHS.

The constant progress of AI leaves society split - some fall into the bracket of excitement, and others are more wary. Whilst these technologies have the potential to transform all industries with a positive effect, we must consider the ramifications if they are not build securely, and with ethical considerations. Mariarosaria joins us to discuss her work in philosophy and ethics at the intersection of AI to share her work in ensuring AI is created with ethics as a priority.
