On our final episode this season of Working Smarter we talk to Sophia Wang, an assistant professor of ophthalmology at Stanford University. Wang leads the school's ophthalmic informatics and artificial intelligence group, which uses the latest machine learning techniques to analyze electronic health records. In practice, that means looking at disparate sources of data—from doctors' notes and eye exam data to diagnostic imagery and billing codes—and finding the sorts of patterns that can be difficult for humans to spot.Hear Wang talk about using AI to extract useful information from a sea of unstructured data, and how to make better decisions with the data you already have—which, in Wang's case, means improving outcomes for glaucoma patients and providing a better quality of care.Show notes:Learn more about Sophia and her researchVisit Stanford University's Ophthalmic Informatics and Artificial Intelligence Group~ ~ ~Working Smarter is a new podcast from Dropbox about how AI is changing the way we work and get stuff done.You can listen to more episodes of Working Smarter on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, YouTube Music, Amazon Music, or wherever you get your podcasts.

For our seventh episode of Working Smarter we're talking to Drew Houston, the co-founder and CEO of Dropbox. If you've been online long enough, it's likely Dropbox was your introduction to the cloud. The goal is still more or less the same—give you one organized place for all your stuff—but it's no longer just about storing and syncing files. A hundred files on your desktop is now a hundred tabs in your browser, and Houston believes AI is what will finally bring calm to the chaos that's been created by the tools of modern work.For Houston, AI's potential is so great that its arrival feels like a civilization shift. It's also not just a professional preoccupation; AI is a personal interest too. A few years ago he decided to teach himself machine learning in his spare time—and some of the AI tools Houston now uses to run Dropbox are ones he built himself. Hear Houston discuss why it's gotten so hard to find the information you need to do your job, the types of tasks we'll increasingly offload to our silicon brains, and what Dropbox is doing to help make modern work more meaningful and fulfilling.Show notes:To learn more about Dropbox Dash and try Dash for free, visit dropbox.com/dashThe two books Houston mentions are “High Output Management” by Andy Grove and “The Effective Executive” by Peter Drucker~ ~ ~Working Smarter is a new podcast from Dropbox about how AI is changing the way we work and get stuff done.You can listen to more episodes of Working Smarter on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, YouTube Music, Amazon Music, or wherever you get your podcasts.

For our sixth episode of Working Smarter we're talking to Pascal Weinberger, the co-founder and CEO of Bardeen, an AI-powered automation platform. Weinberger wants to help people effortlessly automate repetitive tasks in the apps they already use for work—no code required. His hope is that by removing some of the friction that makes it hard for people to do their jobs, they can use the time they save on more rewarding, impactful work.Hear Weinberger talk about what people are already automating, how automation can benefit teams as much as individuals, and why he doesn't want to build tools that replace us.Show notes:To learn more about Bardeen, visit bardeen.ai~ ~ ~Working Smarter is a new podcast from Dropbox about how AI is changing the way we work and get stuff done.You can listen to more episodes of Working Smarter on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, YouTube Music, Amazon Music, or wherever you get your podcasts.

For our fourth episode of Working Smarter we're talking to Babak Hodjat, the chief technology officer for AI research at Cognizant. If you've ever used Apple's smart assistant Siri, then you're almost certainly familiar with his work.Hodjat has been doing AI research for nearly four decades, and if there's one thread that runs through his career, it's how to make working with digital agents feel as natural or effortless as working with a colleague.

For our third episode of Working Smarter we're talking to May Habib, the co-founder and CEO of Writer, a generative AI platform for businesses. Writer helps streamline the writing parts of people's workflows, so they can get to the “thinking part” of their jobs more quickly.For Habib, AI isn't just about automating mundane or repetitive tasks, but a way to amplify the talent and intelligence of a team. There are some types of writing, such as an RFP or a JIRA ticket, where it doesn't always make sense to start from scratch. By using AI to learn how a company works and the knowledge a person needs to do their job, Writer aims to make those kinds of writing-related tasks faster, easier, and more efficient. Hear Habib talk about how AI-powered tools like Writer can help increase the amount of time you spend in flow, supercharge your existing workflows, and create more space for insight, creativity, and inspiration in your job. Show notes:To learn more about Writer, visit writer.comFollow May Habib on LinkedIn~ ~ ~Working Smarter is a new podcast from Dropbox about how AI is changing the way we work and get stuff done.You can listen to more episodes of Working Smarter on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, YouTube Music, Amazon Music, or wherever you get your podcasts.

He's also the former vice president of legal research for Blue J—a legal tech company that uses machine learning to help lawyers review, analyze, and synthesize information faster and more efficiently than they could on their own—and the co-author of The Legal Singularity: How Artificial Intelligence Can Make Law Radically Better.Hear Aidid talk about using AI to spend more time on the things humans do best, how lawyers are already using AI-powered tools, and why he thinks AI could actually make legal services more accessible and better able to meet people's needs. Show notes:To hear more from Abdi Aidid, read our previous interview on Work in Progress.Visit the University of Toronto website to learn more about Abdi Aidid and his work.The Legal Singularity: How Artificial Intelligence Can Make Law Radically Better by Abdi Aidid and Benjamin Alarie is available now.Read the full transcript of this interview on our website. ~ ~ ~Working Smarter is a new podcast from Dropbox about how AI is changing the way we work and get stuff done.You can listen to more episodes of Working Smarter on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, YouTube Music, Amazon Music, or wherever you get your podcasts.

It's another The Delicious Legacy Podcast Vs The British Food History Podcast!The Lives & Works of Four Incredible 18th Century Cooks:Four women. Four household cooks. In the course of a century they reshaped the rules of authorship, cookbooks and home cooking.You might have heard their names. Especially, if you're into your culinary history.But what was that made these four remarkable women to stand out -nearly 300 years ago- in a field crowded with men and rife with plagiarism? Cookery books before were fairly useless as a workable text for the inexperienced new middle classes trying to get economical meals on the table.How did these persistent and talented cooks and cookbook authors shaped our modern genre of culinary writing? And what was the evolution of cooking since the 18th century to today? Suddenly women's voices were being heard, at least in the gendered realms of romantic fiction, cookery, self-help manuals and other works of betterment…What do we own to these superbly talented women?Join Neil Buttery writer and food historian and me in an exploration of the lives of Eliza Smith, Hannah Glasse, Ann Cook, and Elizabeth Raffald!Enjoy!Thom & The Delicious LegacySupport this show http://supporter.acast.com/the-delicious-legacy.

What was healthcare like in America from 1607-1775? For one, they couldn't rely on local doctors or dentists being available! Instead, herbs played a major role in every family's home. Early pilgrim journals indicate favorite plants, whose seeds were chosen to be among the precious little space they had on their voyages across the ocean. We are in a period of time where many people are looking into their ancestral history. Whether via DNA or family trees, people are curious about where they came from, and I believe that having this knowledge helps us to create a vision for the future. What did the pilgrims bring with them to America? What did colonialists grow in their kitchen gardens? How did they keep their families safe and healthy? Listen to this episode to learn about my family heritage, as well as some of the common plants (many of which we are quite familiar with!) they chose prioritize in their new homeland. To learn more, check out A Midwife's Tale by Laurel Thatcher Ulrich, The Compleat Housewife by Eliza Smith, and works by Nicholas Culpeper. Post script: It occurred to me that pilgrims would have also used animal fat to preserve herbs, so this may have been an alternative to the oils and waxes available in Europe at that time.
