Super Intelligence. Friend or Enemy?

What this episode covers

Daniel Hulme, CEO of Satalia (recently acquired by WPP), joins host Ryan Prosser of Very to discuss the reality of artificial intelligence versus the hype. Hulme argues that most current 'AI' is merely machine learning or automation, and true AI requires complex adaptive systems that can learn in production—a capability he claims does not yet exist at scale. The conversation covers the critical distinction between machine learning problems and decision problems, the role of IoT in enabling adaptive behavior, and the ethical implications of digital twins and biometric monitoring in the workplace.

    252: A Good Heuristic for Pain Tolerance

    Katie Malone, a data scientist at Civis Analytics and host of the Linear Digressions podcast, discusses the practical application of machine learning in embedded systems. She explains the distinction between training and inference, highlighting the challenge of integrating black-box neural network outputs into deterministic embedded software. Malone emphasizes that data science is largely about data preparation and problem formulation, not just algorithm selection, and advises engineers to build projects to overcome imposter syndrome.

    Data-Driven Decision-Making with AI | United Nations' Neil Sahota | Internet of Things Podcast

    Neil Sahota, AI Advisor to the United Nations, explains that IoT provides the essential data fuel for AI, enabling data-driven decision-making that reduces human bias and improves outcomes in sectors like healthcare and logistics. He highlights the challenge of quantifying ROI for preventive maintenance, noting that organizations often view IT infrastructure as a cost center rather than a value driver. Sahota also discusses the rise of generative AI and 'artificial empathy,' predicting a shift toward hybrid intelligence that augments human capabilities rather than replacing them.

    437: Chirping With the Experts

    Daniel Situnayake, Head of Machine Learning at Edge Impulse and co-author of the O'Reilly book 'AI at the Edge', discusses the practical application of embedded machine learning. He explains the BLERP framework (Bandwidth, Latency, Economics, Reliability, Privacy) for deciding when to deploy AI on edge devices and emphasizes the importance of responsible AI, including hiring ethicists and using diverse datasets. The conversation also covers the current state of large language models like ChatGPT, noting their utility as creative tools with human-in-the-loop oversight rather than autonomous agents.

    What Role Does Artificial Intelligence Play in IoT? | Dr. Roger Brooks, Chief Scientist at Guavus | #IoTMakers E035

    Dr. Roger Brooks, Chief Scientist at Guavus, explains how Guavus uses its Reflex analytics platform to help communication service providers and industrial IoT operators monitor device health, predict failures, and optimize network performance. He distinguishes between machine learning, which requires large datasets to build models, and artificial intelligence, which can reason from fewer examples, and clarifies the term 'machine intelligence' as AI applied to machine-generated data. Brooks emphasizes that successful IoT ROI depends not just on the analytics but on the solution framework that delivers actionable insights to technicians in real-time to reduce decision latency.
