In this episode, Patrick Pilarski, Canada CIFAR AI Chair and professor at the University of Alberta, breaks down The Alberta Plan—a bold roadmap for achieving Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) through reinforcement learning and real-time experience-based AI. Unlike large pre-trained models that rely on massive datasets, The Alberta Plan champions continual learning, where AI evolves from raw sensory experience, much like a child learning through trial and error. Could this be the key to unlocking true intelligence? Pilarski also shares insights from his groundbreaking work in bionic medicine, where AI-powered prosthetics are transforming human-machine interaction. From neuroprostheses to reinforcement learning-driven robotics, this conversation explores how AI can enhance—not just replace—human intelligence. What You'll Learn in This Episode: Why reinforcement learning is a better path to AGI than pre-trained models The four core principles of The Alberta Plan and why they matter How AI-driven bionic prosthetics are revolutionizing human-machine integration The battle between reinforcement learning and traditional control systems in robotics Why continual learning is critical for AI to avoid catastrophic forgetting How reinforcement learning is already powering real-world breakthroughs in plasma control, industrial automation, and beyond The future of AI isn't just about more data—it's about AI that thinks, adapts, and learns from experience. If you're curious about the next frontier of AI, the rise of reinforcement learning, and the quest for true intelligence, this episode is a must-watch. Subscribe for more AI deep dives!

In today's dynamic business environment, leadership confidence development is essential for guiding teams and driving organizational success. However, confidence alone is not enough to lead effectively—leaders must also build authentic trust with their teams. Trust and confidence are inseparable when fostering productive work environments and ensuring long-term success. In this part II Women's Leadership Success podcast interview with Lida Citroën, we will explore practical strategies for developing leadership confidence and building authentic leadership trust. Lida Citroën: Mastering the Art of Leadership Influence Lida Citroën is a personal branding and reputation management expert who helps executives, entrepreneurs, and thought leaders worldwide shape their public image and seize ideal opportunities. With a track record of guiding thousands of individuals across 30+ countries, Lida offers a transformative approach to personal positioning.   As a dynamic keynote speaker, Lida has captivated audiences through her TEDx Talk and Talks at Google.

Leaders who display confidence are better equipped to inspire others, make strategic decisions, and handle challenges with resilience. However, confidence doesn't just emerge overnight; it is built through intentional practices. 1. Self-awareness and Emotional Intelligence Self-awareness is key to understanding one's strengths and growth areas, directly impacting leadership confidence. Leaders who invest in emotional intelligence training can more easily navigate complex team dynamics, boosting their self-confidence. By developing a deeper understanding of one's emotions, one can regulate them and respond to situations with clarity and calm. 2. Continual Learning and Growth Leaders who actively seek to develop new skills and stay up to date with industry trends exude more confidence. By continuously challenging yourself through learning and development opportunities, you stay prepared for changing circumstances, reinforcing your leadership capabilities. 3. Mentorship and Feedback One of the best ways to grow as a leader is to seek mentorship and actively request feedback from peers and team members. By receiving constructive input and applying it, leaders can build confidence in their leadership style while improving performance. This two-way communication also helps build stronger relationships and mutual trust.   Building Authentic Leadership Trust While confidence is critical, building authentic leadership trust sustains long-term success. Trust makes teams follow your lead, invest in your vision, and commit to achieving collective goals. But trust cannot be forced; it must be earned. Consistency in Actions and Words To build trust, leaders must align their actions with their words. Consistency in decision-making, behavior, and communication ensures that team members know what to expect from you. This creates a sense of reliability, which is fundamental to establishing trust.   Transparency and Open Communication Honesty and transparency foster trust within teams. Leaders who are open about their goals, challenges, and expectations build stronger connections with their teams. This authentic communication shows that you value your employees' input and are committed to their growth and the organization's success.   Empathy and Active Listening Building authentic leadership trust requires empathy.

Batch Recording: Record multiple episodes in one sitting. This can be a great way to ensure you have a backlog of content ready to go, reducing the pressure of producing an episode every week. 4. Engage with Your Audience: Listener feedback can be incredibly motivating. Engage with your audience through social media, emails, or comments. Knowing that people are listening and valuing your content can give you the boost you need to keep going. 5. Collaborate with Others: Collaborating with other podcasters or guests can bring fresh perspectives and ideas to your show. It can also introduce you to new audiences and provide a motivational boost through shared enthusiasm. Maybe even promo swaps or guesting on other podcasts in your topic area. 6. Continual Learning and Improvement: Invest in your skills by learning more about podcasting, audio editing, marketing, etc. Improvement can be a great motivator as you see the quality of your podcast enhance over time. Listen to podcasts (Like this one) and others that report about what is going on in podcasting. Sign up for podcasting newsletters. Take an audio editing class or watch YouTube videos about the editing software you are using. Attend relevant topic conferences and podcast events 7. Stay Passionate About Your Topic: Choose topics that you are passionate about. Your enthusiasm will not only keep you motivated but also engage your listeners more effectively. 8. Take a break if you need one: Don't be afraid to take breaks when needed. Burnout can be a major de-motivator, so it's important to take care of your mental and physical health. Schedule breaks or hiatuses to recharge. Play re-run episodes or run an episode you recorded earlier to cover your break. 9. Celebrate Milestones: Celebrate your achievements, whether it's your 10th episode, 100th download, or first piece of positive feedback. Recognizing your progress can be very encouraging. 10. Monetization and Rewards: If possible, monetize your podcast. Financial rewards can be a strong motivator. This could be through sponsorships, merchandise, Patreon, or other revenue streams. 11. Join Podcasting Communities: Being part of a community of podcasters can provide support, inspiration, and accountability. Online forums, social media groups, or local meetups can be great places to connect with fellow podcasters.

The phrase Forever Young embodies an aspirational desire to retain the vigor, vitality, and youthful spirit throughout life. While the sentiment behind this phrase may bring up memories of the Bob Dylan song, it resonates with the wish for sustained energy, health, and vitality. However, the literal interpretation of eternal youth is, unfortunately, not feasible. Aging is an inevitable natural process that brings about physiological changes in the body over time. I wrote the following thoughts in my book Women at Halftime: (https://amzn.to/3RL7KWz) Are those deepening crow's feet spreading? Are those actually permanent bags beneath our eyes? Several splashes of cold water cannot rinse away the creases around our moths that have deepened from smile lines to fissures. We lift sagging cheeks to produce a momentary youthful expression. But wasn't it just yesterday that we were nominated for college homecoming queen? Cells age, tissues change, and bodily functions gradually decline with advancing age. Thus, the notion of preserving physical youth indefinitely is not realistic and we are all on the same train eventually facing the same end here on earth. However, while immortality or stopping the aging process is scientifically unattainable, there are ways we can enhance our well-being and maintain a youthful disposition. Adopting healthy lifestyle practices, such as regular exercise, nutritious eating habits, stress management, and sufficient sleep, can contribute to overall vitality and longevity. These practices may not halt the aging process but can positively impact health, delay age-related issues, and improve the quality of life as we age. I will share a couple of my regular routines throughout this article.

Welcome to The Nonlinear Library, where we use Text-to-Speech software to convert the best writing from the Rationalist and EA communities into audio. This is: EIS X: Continual Learning, Modularity, Compression, and Biological Brains, published by Stephen Casper on February 21, 2023 on The AI Alignment Forum. Part 10 of 12 in the Engineer's Interpretability Sequence. The science of interpretability is part of a larger picture. The previous post focused in-depth on how research on interpretability and adversaries are inseparably connected. This post is dedicated to discussing how this is not itself a complete story. There is a much larger, richer one about the connections between interpretability, adversaries, continual learning, modularity, and biological brains – likely some other things too. These connections may be a useful mine for insight and inspiration. Below are discussions of my understanding of each of these topics and how they relate to others. I'll include some citations here, but see the Toward Transparent AI survey (Räuker et al., 2022) survey for full discussions. Continual learning Continual learning is a fairly large subfield of deep learning that focuses on finding ways to help neural networks learn new information without forgetting old information. This is also described as the goal of avoiding “catastrophic forgetting.” Notably, biological brains are good at this, but artificial neural networks are not by default. Sections 2A and 3A of the Toward Transparent AI survey (Räuker et al., 2022) both focus entirely on how continual learning methods are interpretability tools. Please see the survey for the full discussion. Methods for continual learning are based on replay, regularization, or parameter isolation (De Lange et al., 2019). Methods taking the latter two strategies are based on the broader principle of getting neural networks to have some weights or neurons that specialize in particular types of data. In other words, they encourage specialized task-defined modules inside the network. Thus, these can be used as intrinsic interpretability tools that help us train models that are more easy or natural to interpret out of the box. Modularity Modularity is a common property of engineered systems, and separating neural networks into distinct, specialized modules is very appealing for interpreting them. The weights in neural network layers are typically initialized and updated according to uniform rules, and all neurons in one layer are typically connected to all neurons in the previous and next layers. Unfortunately, this does not help networks develop specialized modules. Meanwhile, neurons in biological brains come in multiple types and can only communicate with nearby ones. This has contributed to modularity in brains in which different brain regions specialize in processing information for distinct tasks. See Sections 4B-4C of the Toward Transparent AI survey (Räuker et al., 2022) for a full discussion on modularity. In artificial neural networks, neural networks can be trained to be modular using either “hard” architectural constraints or “soft” modularity aided by initialization, regularization, a controller, or sparse attention. Meanwhile, Serra et al. (2018) found that soft modularity via sparse attention helped with continual learning. And even when networks are not trained to be explicitly modular, one can still interpret them post hoc in terms of modules. Compression Some neurons and weights are frivolous, meaning that they are either redundant with others or are simply not useful to the network's performance at all. Frivolous components of the network can be understood as useless modules that can be adapted for continual learning. Networks that contain frivolous weights or neurons can also be compressed by removing them which makes the interpretation of circuits inside of the network simpler. Meanwhile, compression can guide interpretations (e.g. Li et al. (2018) or causal scrubbing), and inte...

Hayden and Cole are back for another fun and engaging conversation. They open the first half of their conversation up discussing the important of confidence, how to get it back when you lose it, and owning when you don't always have it (completely healthy). They then intertwine the power of confidence into how continual learning is so fundamental to anything and everything you do. They wrap up their conversation by discussing the importance of taking stock in what content and who you follow on social media. The more you can pick and choose content that teaches you to grow the better one can become. Tune in for a fun conversation. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/unscripted-exchanges/support

John has some helpful reminders in this lesson about practices we can put into our own lives to enhance our day-to-day journey of growth. After John's lesson, Mark Cole will be joined by Traci Morrow to offer some practical application to help you apply this lesson to your own life and leadership. So, if you want to be better tomorrow than you are today, don't miss this episode! Our BONUS resource for this episode is the “Three Words that Enhance Continual Learning Worksheet,” which includes fill-in-the-blank notes from John's teaching.

No, your eyes do not deceive you...the podcast is back! (It never really left, but was definitely on leave of absence for a while...very sorry about that - some of the details are in the intro.) Then it's on to part 18 of our series: Hope in the Time of Covid. In this episode, we take a look at the difficult-yet-essential truth that the road to justice is paved in love. In this time when historic injustices are being revealed with painful clarity, we understand all the more the impulse of the oppressed to seek justice by means of violence. Even those of us who face little oppression can find ourselves shockingly enraged at minor transgressions against "what is right!" And we reflexively assume the person opposing us is the source of the wrong, our "enemy." If we can overcome them, we can achieve "justice." But that's not how true justice is ever established...  And, if you're the type who likes to read along, the biblical text for this conversation can be found here: Ephesians 4:17-5:2 (NRSV) Did you know you can now share in worship with Canvas from anywhere in the world via livestream?
