The AI Pod: Recent Episodes
Avid Fayaz
AI or artificial intelligence is at the forefront of some of the most fundamental questions to have ever been faced by humanity. At the very same time it opens to us possibilities that could completely reshape our perceptions of human life on this and perhaps even other plants. The goal of this podcast is to explore these possibilities through holding discussions and conversations with some of the most interesting researchers, about their work, research and ideas in the field of AI and its impacts on humanity.

Professor Magnus Boman is the lead of AI and health at Department of Medicine, Solna, Division of Clinical Epidemiology at the Karolinska Instituted. His research spans in a variety of subjects such as the use cases of AI for precision medicine and multimodal prediction and prevention, assisting humans learn over time for cross-domain applications and saving and sharing those learned structures, how AI should take on energy-efficient forms that address the von Neumann bottleneck, and how it can can help translate the output from quantum sensors into meaningful and actionable information.

Hedvig Kjellström is a Professor in the Division of Robotics, Perception and Learning, KTH, and also affiliated with Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences, Silo AI, Swedish e-Science Research Centre, and Max Planck Institute for Intelligent Systems, Germany.
The general theme of her research is the study of methods for enabling artificial agents to interpret human and animal behavior. These studies have been applied in the study of human aesthetic bodily expressions such as in music and dance, modeling and interpreting human communicative behavior, and the understanding of animal behavior and experiences.
