Podcasts about Dhar

Artificial intelligence may feel suddenly everywhere, but AI pioneer Vasant Dhar has had a front-row seat for more than four decades—teaching AI, building companies around it, and bringing machine learning to Wall Street long before ChatGPT entered the conversation. For the second week of Authors in August, David sits down with Dhar to ask not merely what machines can do, but how humans can think with them. When should we trust AI? When does it sharpen our thinking—and when does it make our brains lazy? If intelligence itself is becoming a commodity, where will tomorrow's value be created? And in a future where machines become extraordinarily capable, what are humans for?A conversation about AI, investing, trust, judgment, and our increasingly intelligent future.

Episode #580: Professor P. L. Dhar, a longtime Vipassana teacher in the S.N. Goenka tradition, reflects on his life-long spiritual journey. A decade immersed in Vedanta and other Indian traditions, along with a meditative and devotional practice, helped him develop deep concentration. Yet he gradually became dissatisfied, wondering whether these practices investigated reality deeply enough.Then a series of crises transformed his spiritual search. Political violence in India, the assassination of Prime Minister Indira Gandhi, the Bhopal disaster, and most importantly the death of his young son in 1985 pushed him into profound grief and self-doubt. These events moved him to enroll in one of Goenka's ten-day Vipassana courses, where he discovered a form of practice that seemed to reach levels of suffering he had not previously been able to address.Over the next several years he devoted himself intensely to Vipassana, completing long retreats, becoming a teacher, and eventually helping introduce meditation programs into Delhi's Tihar Jail, one of India's largest and most notorious prisons. He regards the Tihar project as a remarkable demonstration of meditation's transformative potential. Yet it was connected to an issue that concerned Professor Dhar. He had always been troubled by Goenka's frequent criticisms of other spiritual traditions, and indeed, some Tihar inmates were very angry when they heard them. Goenka responded by removing the offending parts and adding in more positive messaging, which were very well received in Tihar. Yet for whatever reason, these revised Hindi versions were not used other than at the Tihar courses. Later, as Dhar gained more responsibilities within the organization, he also became concerned that institutional growth, hierarchy, and status were receiving more attention than deeper questions about liberation.His most significant concern was around anattā, the Buddhist doctrine of not-self. Professor Dhar explains that while years of practice gave him a deep experiential appreciation of impermanence, he eventually concluded that neither the Goenka technique nor the culture surrounding it sufficiently examined how the sense of self is constructed, nor was there much enthusiasm within the organization for doing so. While he remains forever grateful to Goenka, these concerns led to his departure from the organization in 2010. Since then, his investigationsinto non-self have led him to believe it is the key link between meditation practice and liberation.

Send us Fan MailVasant Dhar teaches data science at NYU's Stern School of Business and has spent more than 45 years at the frontier of artificial intelligence. He brought machine learning to Wall Street in the 1990s and founded SCT Capital Management, one of the first machine learning based hedge funds.He hosts the Brave New World podcast, downloaded more than a million times, where he has interviewed Nobel laureates, technologists, and global thinkers on the implications of AI. His work has appeared in The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, Financial Times, Wired, and MIT Technology Review. His latest book, Thinking with Machines, traces AI from its origins to the present.For more than forty years, Vasant has built systems that sat right on the edge of human trust. People had to decide whether to rely on them or walk away.In this episode, he makes a stark claim: AI will not just change how we work; it will sort us into two groups. One uses it to extend their judgment. The other slowly hands that judgment over. The gap comes down to habits you are forming today, not some distant future.In this conversation, we discuss:Why trusting AI comes down to just two variables, and the simple test Vasant has applied since his Harvard Business Review piece a decade agoThe bifurcation Vasant believes AI is about to create, splitting humanity into two groups, and which side you do not want to be onWhat tennis great Roger Federer's win rate reveals about succeeding with algorithms, and the counterintuitive math behind every winning edge Why the edge returns to humans the moment everyone runs the same algorithms, and what only people can do in situations no system has seen The one word in the title Thinking with Machines that Vasant says matters most, and what it asks of how we work alongside AIThe areas of life where Vasant argues we may need to restrict AI entirely, and the legal framework we already have to govern itExplore the Conversation 00:00 Intro & AI Fun Fact: Trustworthy AI from Principles to Practice04:13 Meet Vasant Dhar: From the Internist System to Machine Learning on Wall Street07:10 The Origins of Thinking with Machines: The Biggest Surprise in 45 Years of AI09:33 Written for Everyone: AI's Accelerating Pace and the Call to Get Engaged11:23 When to Trust an Algorithm: The Green Zone and the Human Edge20:24 The Bifurcation of Humanity: Superhuman Amplification or Cognitive Decline24:52 The Four Eras of Machine Intelligence: From Specification to General Intelligence29:22 The Ethics of AI Agency: Where Machines Need Limits and Obligations34:14 Who Governs AI: Tort Law, Liability, and Emerging Legal Precedent37:44 AI in 2036: Multisensory Machines and the Integration of the Senses40:33 Teaching Machines to Smell: AI, Olfaction, and Disease Detection43:35 Where to Find Thinking with Machines and Connect with Vasant Dhar Resources:Subscribe to the AI & The Future of Work NewsletterConnect with Vasant on LinkedInAI fun fact articleOn the decision sprint process with Atif Rafiq, CEO & Bestselling Author

Hey, Heal Squad! We are back for Part 2 with the one and only Dhar Mann, Forbes' #2 Creator, founder of Dhar Mann Studios, and host of the brand-new podcast What Happens Next: The Dhar Mann Podcast. Today our conversation really gets personal.   We get into the daily habits that keep him grounded and why his one true non-negotiable every morning has nothing to do with the latest wellness hacks. We also talk about why giving yourself grace isn't just good for your soul, it's scientifically proven to help you reach your goals faster. Dhar also shares what he believes God is really doing when life feels like it's falling apart, his go-to book list for every season of life (don't worry we have it below!), and why being your most authentic self in every room is the real secret to not burning out and possibly, being one of the top creators in the world! Enjoy! The To-Do List vs. The To-Be List: Dhar shares the mindset shift that helped him stop chasing milestones and start appreciating the moments that truly make up a meaningful life. Grace Over Perfection: Why giving yourself grace isn't giving up, it's one of the most powerful tools for healing, resilience, and long-term success. The Burden Before the Blessing: From faith and purpose to fatherhood and daily habits, Dhar explains why life's greatest burdens often prepare us for our biggest breakthroughs and how to stay present while you're living through them.

Hey, Heal Squad! Today, Maria is back in the studio with a very special guest: Dhar Mann. If his name doesn't ring a bell... just ask your kids…lol. Chances are, they've seen one (or a hundred!) of his videos. Dhar is the founder of Dhar Mann Studios, where his videos reach hundreds of millions of people every week. He's also Forbes' #2 Creator and the host of a brand-new podcast called What Happens Next: The Dhar Mann Podcast. But what fascinated us most wasn't how he built an empire….it was the journey that built him.  We talk about what it was like growing up feeling like he didn't belong, how hitting rock bottom at 30…broke, depressed, and just weeks away from eviction….became the turning point that changed his life, and why this one conversation he had with his young daughter has really changed the way he defines success. We also get into faith, purpose, learning to face your pain instead of running from it, and the role his wife Laura played in believing in him when he couldn't quite believe in himself. Whether you're feeling stuck, starting over, or just trying to figure out your next chapter, this conversation is such a beautiful reminder that your greatest setbacks don't have to define you, they might just be preparing you for what's next. HEALERS & HEAL LINERS The Conversation That Changed Everything: Dhar shares the heartfelt moment with his daughter that completely redefined how he measures success and what truly matters. Pain Can Become Purpose: From childhood rejection to rock bottom at 30, Dhar explains how learning to face pain and not avoid it, became the foundation of his life and career. Your Story Isn't Over: Dhar reveals why every setback is just another chapter, and why he believes you're often one opportunity away from your breakthrough.

Today Jay sits down with one of the world’s most influential digital storytellers, Dhar Mann, for a raw conversation about failure, identity, and resilience. Dhar opens up about growing up feeling caught between two worlds, battling loneliness, depression, and self-doubt, and how those painful experiences ultimately shaped his purpose. Together, they explore how our deepest wounds often become the message we’re here to share, and why real healing begins when we stop hiding who we are. Dhar also breaks down the mindset and systems that helped him turn his lowest moments into a global storytelling brand.

Why do so many organizational change efforts stall or flat out fail? Julia Dhar, managing director and partner at Boston Consulting Group, says the problem often isn't strategy, it's behavior. Leaders spend enormous time designing change, but far less understanding whether employees are willing, motivated, and equipped to adopt it. She shares research around how leaders can create genuine alignment, and what it takes to sustain momentum once the novelty fades. Dhar is coauthor, along with Kristy Ellmer and Philip Jameson, of the book "How Change Really Works: Seven Science-Based Principles for Transforming Your Organization".

In this week's episode, Leslie Heaney sits down with Vasant Dhar—professor at NYU Stern School of Business and the Center for Data Science at New York University, founder of SCT Capital, and author of Thinking with Machines: The Brave New World of AI.Together, they explore how artificial intelligence evolved, why language prediction changed everything, and what it means now that machines can think alongside humans. The conversation examines the growing divide between those who use AI to sharpen judgment and those who rely on it to think for them, as well as the broader implications for work, education, power, and responsibility.This is a grounded, honest conversation about the power of AI—and how we choose to live with it.Hosted on Ausha.

Special guest, Denisha Gingles, returns to the show to update our perceptions of good leadership with a decidedly non-Western traditional mindset of culturally responsive practices. For example, did you know that some cultures appreciate a greater sense of unity from their leaders? Apparently one giant know-it-all doesn't necessarily make for the best boss—looking at you, American CEOs! Learn how embracing a more diverse workforce can also benefit goals of meaningful mentorship and growth in our field with some examples from the medical world and how much we really should learn from rugby.

In this episode of Tank Talks, host Matt Cohen sits down with Sameer Dhar, Co-Founder and CEO of NiaHealth, to explore how proactive healthcare is reshaping the future of medicine.Sameer shares his remarkable journey from living in nursing homes for a year while building his first startup (Sensassure) to launching NiaHealth, a Canadian health-tech company empowering people to take ownership of their longevity through AI-driven diagnostics and personalized insights.With over $8 million in funding and a 12,000-person waitlist, NiaHealth is building a clinician-first model that complements Canada's public system, helping users prevent disease decades before it develops. Sameer also discusses why prevention, not treatment, must drive the next wave of healthcare innovation, how AI will augment rather than replace clinicians, and what it takes to build a mission-driven company in a regulated industry.Whether you're a founder, investor, or health enthusiast, this conversation reveals how the next generation of health tech startups can blend AI, clinical integrity, and human empathy to create lasting impact.A Quick Word from our Sponsor, FaskenAt Fasken, our clients don't wait for the future.

Today, Matt Liguori and Sasha Joseph discuss episode 6 of Dancing with the Stars Season 34 with special guest, Survivor 47's Anika Dhar.

This week on Newsroom Robots, host Nikita Roy sits down with Vilas Dhar, President of the Patrick J. McGovern Foundation, one of the world's foremost philanthropies advancing AI for public good. Dhar leads a $1.5 billion endowment that has committed over $500 million to projects spanning climate action, public health, education, and democratic governance. He has served on the UN Secretary-General's High-Level Advisory Body on AI, is the U.S. government's nominated expert to the Global Partnership on AI, and was named a World Economic Forum Young Global Leader in 2022.Across philanthropy, policy, and technology, Dhar carries one central conviction: technology may accelerate, but the future of journalism and society must remain human-centered. Dhar introduces a three-part framework for ethical AI deployment (responsible data, clear boundaries, and transparency) and explains how to translate abstract principles into concrete newsroom decisions. He unpacks his LISA framework (Listen, Involve, Share, Assess) for audience-centered AI design, and tackles the hardest questions facing newsroom leaders: Should we buy or build AI tools? How do we balance innovation with environmental sustainability? What happens to human creativity when machines can create?But perhaps most powerfully, Dhar challenges a deeply held belief in journalism: that media organizations can remain ‘just' media companies in an AI-driven world. There is no way to be a media organization today without also being a technology organization, he argues, and that shift requires not just new tools, but a fundamental reckoning with organizational identity and purpose.

There's a power struggle between humanity and technology. And Vilas Dhar, president and trustee of the Patrick J. McGovern Foundation, argues humanity coming out on top depends not just on regulation, but on people regaining agency vis-à-vis technology and a voice in how it is created. On POLITICO Tech, Dhar joins host Steven Overly to discuss how humans can reclaim their power, and why he thinks an initial step should be creating a national digital identification system.    Steven Overly is the host of POLITICO Tech and covers the intersection of politics and technology.

About the Book Over the last decade, election campaigns in India have undergone a dramatic shift. Political parties increasingly rely on political consulting firms, social media volunteers, pollsters, data-driven insights, and hashtag wars to mobilize voters. What is driving these changes in the landscape of electioneering? The Backstage of Democracy: India's Election Campaigns and the People Who Manage Them (Cambridge UP, 2024) takes readers to the hidden arena of strategizing and deliberations that takes place between politicians and a new cabal of political professionals as they organize election campaigns in India. The book argues that this change is not reducible to a story of technological innovations alone. Rather, it is indicative of a new political culture where ideas of political expertise, the distribution of power within parties, and citizens' attitudes towards political participation have undergone a profound change. Marshalling an eclectic range of data sources, the book breaks new ground on how we understand the workings of India's electoral and party politics.

What is driving these changes in the landscape of electioneering? The Backstage of Democracy: India's Election Campaigns and the People Who Manage Them (Cambridge UP, 2024) takes readers to the hidden arena of strategizing and deliberations that takes place between politicians and a new cabal of political professionals as they organize election campaigns in India.

I interviewed 60 Brits to debunk one of psychology's greatest myths. Priming is one of the best-known biases in behavioural science. Kahneman mentions it 35 times in his best-selling book Thinking Fast and Slow. And yet, I'm not convinced it really works. In five separate experiments, I tested it. Does priming work, or is it a myth?  The studies:  Authenticity study: https://ibb.co/5W14DM2N Creativity study: https://ibb.co/FbxxNMDf Guilty study: https://ibb.co/XrTLXrY4 Anchoring + priming study: https://ibb.co/99LLw7G9 Reading time study: https://ibb.co/LDYc18yF ---  Subscribe to the (free) Nudge Newsletter: https://nudge.ck.page/profile Connect on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/phill-agnew-22213187/ Watch Nudge on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@nudgepodcast/ Learn more about Voxpopme: https://www.voxpopme.com/ ---  Sources:  Bargh, J.

Rob Cesternino and Chappell dive into episode 4 of Survivor 48 with special guest, Survivor 47's Anika Dhar!

Continuing our dive into the chaos gods and their champions, it is the turn of the martial  blood god Khorne. We start with an existential conversation on what drives mortals to become his champions and their violent relationship with other champions, using the former Knight of the Blazing Suns, Slaurith, as a prime example. We turn our attention to the murderous cultists of Khorne and the blood gods strained and confusing stance on magic. We dive into the continuing adventures of Aarball the Undefeated and his enormous flesh hound mount (Gabby). We explore the tale of Valkia the Bloody, the "Shield-Maiden of Khorne", a fearsome champion and consort of Khorne. We close the episode with a “when Khorne goes bad” tale of Scyla Anfingrimm, glorious chaos champion turned chaos spawn after one to many reward-naps. ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Show notes⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Patreon⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Chunks of Dhar⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Merchandise⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Quartermaster

Five years before he became a massively successful content creator, Dhar Mann was nearly broke and living in a studio apartment. It's the kind of story he might tell in one of his videos: bite-sized, live-action morality tales that have earned 60 billion views across YouTube, Facebook, and other platforms. Raised in an Indian Sikh family, Dhar had a strong entrepreneurial drive, which led to early business success, but also a spectacular downfall when he got pulled into a Ponzi scheme. A few years after losing nearly everything, he began making short, dramatic videos that conveyed life lessons. Nobody watched at first and critics called them cheesy, but today, Dhar has a huge production studio in Burbank, where dozens of employees make content for tens of millions of subscribers.This episode was produced by Alex Cheng and Casey Herman, with music by Ramtin Arablouei.Edited by Neva Grant, with research help from Katherine Sypher.You can follow HIBT on X & Instagram, and email us at hibt@id.wondery.com.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
