Podcasts about kinds

Our guest in this episode is Henry Shevlin. Henry is the Associate Director of the Leverhulme Centre for the Future of Intelligence at the University of Cambridge, where he also co-directs the Kinds of Intelligence program and oversees educational initiatives. He researches the potential for machines to possess consciousness, the ethical ramifications of such developments, and the broader implications for our understanding of intelligence. In his 2024 paper, “Consciousness, Machines, and Moral Status,” Henry examines the recent rapid advancements in machine learning and the questions they raise about machine consciousness and moral status. He suggests that public attitudes towards artificial consciousness may change swiftly, as human-AI interactions become increasingly complex and intimate. He also warns that our tendency to anthropomorphise may lead to misplaced trust in and emotional attachment to AIs.Note: this episode is co-hosted by David and Will Millership, the CEO of a non-profit called Prism (Partnership for Research Into Sentient Machines). Prism is seeded by Conscium, a startup where both Calum and David are involved, and which, among other things, is researching the possibility and implications of machine consciousness. Will and Calum will be releasing a new Prism podcast focusing entirely on Conscious AI, and the first few episodes will be in collaboration with the London Futurists Podcast.Selected follow-ups:PRISM podcastHenry Shevlin - personal siteKinds of Intelligence - Leverhulme Centre for the Future of IntelligenceConsciousness, Machines, and Moral Status - 2024 paper by Henry ShevlinApply rich psychological terms in AI with care - by Henry Shevlin and Marta HalinaWhat insects can tell us about the origins of consciousness - by Andrew Barron and Colin KleinConsciousness in Artificial Intelligence: Insights from the Science of Consciousness - By Patrick Butlin, Robert Long, et alAssociation for the Study of ConsciousnessOther researchers mentioned:Blake LemoineThomas NagelNed BlockPeter SengeGalen StrawsonDavid ChalmersDavid BenatarThomas MetzingerBrian TomasikMurray ShanahanMusic: Spike Protein, by Koi Discovery, available under CC0 1.0 Public Domain DeclarationPromoguy Talk PillsAgency in Amsterdam dives into topics like Tech, AI, digital marketing, and more drama...Listen on: Apple Podcasts Spotify Real Talk About MarketingAn Acxiom podcast where we discuss marketing made better, bringing you real...Listen on: Apple Podcasts Spotify

We all have experienced loneliness in our lives. We long to be known, accepted, and truly connected. But loneliness isn't the absence of people, it's the absence of connection. We often separate our desires from our faith, our identity from our worth, and our trials from our purpose. We chase fulfillment apart from God, hoping that something or someone will satisfy us. But not only do we have a God who sees our loneliness, we have a Savior who understands. The cure for loneliness isn't more people, it's a deeper connection with God and with others who draw us closer to Him.  

In this episode, Michael Tremblay and Caleb Ontiveros explore Aristotle's ethics, focusing on his doctrine of virtue as the golden mean. They break down how Aristotle's view differs from Stoicism—from his three-part soul to his idea that virtues are skills developed through practice. Learn why Aristotle saw courage as a balance between cowardice and rashness, why feeling the right emotions matters as much as doing the right thing, and how this ancient framework applies to modern life.The conversation unpacks key concepts from Aristotle's Nicomachean Ethics: habituation, the role of pleasure in virtue, and why context matters in ethical decisions.(08:29) Aristotelian Happiness(10:47) Parts of the Soul(12:44) The Kinds of Virtues(14:04) Virtue as Skill(18:39) Habituation(19:42) The Golden Mean(26:07) Good Reason For Bad Feelings(28:24) Meaning of Virtue(31:37) Self-Reinforcing Virtue(35:31) What the Golden Mean Means(45:02) Key Ideas For Practice(48:03) Differences with Stoicism*** Subscribe to The Stoa Letter for weekly meditations, actions, and links to the best Stoic resources: www.stoaletter.com/subscribeDownload the Stoa app (it's a free download): https://stoameditation.com/podIf you try the Stoa app and find it useful, but truly cannot afford it, email us and we'll set you up with a free account.Listen to more episodes and learn more here: https://stoameditation.com/blog/stoa-conversations/Check out our Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@stoaphilosophyThanks to Michael Levy for graciously letting us use his music in the conversations: https://ancientlyre.com/

Darkness and suffering can trap us in a draining loop of “what if,” but hope and the radical acceptance of “what is” offers the way out. Hope is not a fixed point we will reach, but a living force that propels us forward. Through hardship we are formed anew, and in our suffering, Jesus brings forth a new creation. Good things are happening even in the darkness.

We like to make fun of AI over here at ITAK, but this time things may have gone too far. Carson and Gavin dove deep into the recent use of an AI deep fake video of a deceased man in a court of law, and uncovered some messy details of how it all went down. Not to mention, they did an unusual taste test, talked about the new Pope, read a rare Nextdoor Drama entry, and so much more! Want to stay up to date with the podcast?

Anxiety and fear are real responses, but they are meant to counsel us, not imprison us. In His own suffering, Jesus showed that surrender brings strength and that anxious thoughts can point us to our deepest longings to feel significant, accepted, and secure. But these needs are fully met in Christ. When we reframe our life's telos around Him, anxiety becomes a doorway to deeper trust, joy, and freedom.

Is something currently testing your faith? Are you struggling with difficult relationships? Being offended and angry with difficult people is inevitable but living offended and angered by difficult people is a choice. This sermon introduces our study on trials and how they test our faith, especially through difficult relationships. Pastor Scott reminds us that trials are normal, can be a source of joy, and can transform us by building steadfastness in our lives.

Ever had that moment when you're relishing a juicy fig, and someone drops the bomb that you might be chowing down on a wasp? Surprising as it sounds, it's true. Fig wasps do their thing by pollinating figs from the inside, but unfortunately, they sometimes get stuck in there! Now, bear in mind, these wasps are tiny, at around 1 to 2 mm tiny, so you won't notice them when you take a bite. But, let's switch gears from figs and delve into what makes a fruit not quite as vegan as you might think. There are some steadfast rules for those rocking the vegan lifestyle: no animal flesh, no by-products from livestock like milk, eggs, cheese, or honey, and definitely no additives like E120, a colorant made from insects. That's the universal baseline. Beyond that, depending on personal beliefs, some might steer clear of non-organic or environmentally questionable items. What about fruits that don't quite fit the vegan bill? How do I know if this is the case in my supermarket? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions!

Our minds help us understand, learn, and express ourselves. But not everyone thinks the same way! In this episode of The Children's Hour, we explore different kinds of minds, including neurodivergent thinkers, emotional intelligence, and artificial intelligence.

"And so we are going to establish a school for the service of the Lord. In founding it we hope to introduce nothing harsh or burdensome. But if a certain strictness results… do not be at once dismayed and fly from the way of salvation, whose entrance cannot but be narrow." In this first of five episodes, we begin The Rule of St. Benedict, a foundational spiritual guide composed around 530 AD by St. Benedict of Nursia, the father of Western monasticism. In the Prologue, St. Benedict sets forth the Rule's purpose, followed by Chapters 1–7, in which he outlines the kinds of monks, the qualities of an abbot, the Instruments of Good Works as a monk's daily guide, and the Rule's core principles of obedience, silence, and humility.

Teacher: Dave Brown Despair: Utter loss of hope.— Merriam-Webster Dictionary Why is light given to those in misery, and life to the bitter of soul, to those who long for death that does not come, who search for it more than for hidden treasure, who are filled with gladness and rejoice when they reach the grave? Why is life given to a man whose way is hidden, whom God has hedged in? For sighing has become my daily food; my groans pour out like water. What I feared has come upon me; what I dreaded has happened to me. I have no peace, no quietness; I have no rest, but only turmoil.— Job 3:20-26 3 Types of Despair:1 - Spiritual Despair2 - Emotional Despair3 - Physical Despair Covert despair—repressed hopelessness characterizes the spiritual condition of North American culture. Unlike the despair of the poor and afflicted around the globe who know too well their true condition, the despair of the dominant culture of North America is a denied despair, not merely hidden by wealth and power but forcibly refused It is the kind of repressive posture that must lie to itself constantly that ends in destructive behavior more devastating than the negating realities it fears to acknowledge.— Kathleen O'Conner The Spirit of the Lord is on me, because he has anointed me to proclaim good news to the poor. He has sent me to proclaim freedom for the prisoners and recovery of sight for the blind, to set the oppressed free, to proclaim the year of the Lord's favor.—Luke 4:18-19 Without lament our hearts remain devoid of the light of Christ. Lament is an essential practice for moving to hope. Prayers that erupt from wounds, burst out of unbearable pain, and bring it to language. Laments complain, shout, and protest. They  anger and despair before God and the community. They grieve. They argue. The find fault…Although laments appear disruptive of God's world, they are acts of fidelity. In vulnerability and honesty, they cling obstinately to God and demand for God to see, hear, and act.— Kathleen O'Conner Hope: To cherish a desire with anticipation.— Merriam-Webster Dictionary 3 Kinds of Christian Hope:1 - Spiritual Hope2 - Emotional Hope3 - Physical Hope To hope for a better future in this world—for the poor, the sick, the lonely and depressed, for the slaves, the refugees, the hungry and homeless, for the abused, the paranoid, the downtrodden and despairing, and in fact for the whole wide, wonderful, and wounded world— is not something else, something extra, something tacked on to the gospel as an afterthought.— N.T. Wright The whole point of what Jesus was up to was that he was rescuing people from the corruption and decay of the way the world presently is so they could enjoy, already in the present, that renewal of creation which is God's ultimate purpose—and so they could thus become colleagues and partners in that larger project.— N.T. Wright

Great[00:01:11] Dr Genevieve Hayes: We’re at the dawn of the AI revolution with everyone wanting to get in on the act and many organizations terrified of being left behind.[00:01:21] As a result, there are more technical data science and AI centric roles being advertised now than ever before. However, this also brings with it unprecedented opportunities for data scientists to make the leap into business leadership, if they’re willing and if they know how. And those are two very big ifs, because in my experience, Many data scientists either don’t know how to successfully make this transition, or write off the possibility of doing so entirely for fear that it’ll take them too far away from the tools.[00:01:55] Now, Andre you started your career as a software engineer, but have since held a number of technology leadership roles, including VP of Engineering at Liberty Mutual Insurance, Chief Technology Officer at OneScreen. ai, And your current role is head of engineering at agent. ai. What is it that first started you on the path from technical specialist to business leader?[00:02:21] Andrei Oprisan: question. So for me, it was all about asking deeper questions as to the why and that led me to ask them more questions, you know, but why and why again, why are we doing this? Why are we prioritizing this kind of work? What makes us believe this is the right kind of feature, to work on as a developer which inevitably leads to some kind of business questions some questions about. Who the customer is and why we’re serving those customers are those customers, right? Kinds of customers. To serve in the 1st place, or, should we be thinking about different kinds of customer personas?[00:02:56] And what does that mean? All the way to, how do you actually make money as a business? Why are we doing this? Is it to drive efficiency? Is it to serve a new, on top market potentially? And so. As you mentioned, I started as a developer, I started my career at Wayfair back in the early days when they were, I think it was engineer number 30 company of 100 or so people back in the early 2000s.[00:03:20] And we were. Developing big features. I remember I own a big part of baby and wedding registries and checkout and customer reviews. And I was building more and more features and I was sitting and also in more meetings with product managers who are usually the kind of the interface right in a tech world to sort of the business.[00:03:42] And I kept asking more and more questions around it. Hey, but why are we doing this? Why are we solving for baby registries? Why are we solving for wedding registries?[00:03:51] So again. For me, it really started from early days of my career, all the way through later stages, where I was always asking more questions about, is it the right thing?[00:03:59] The highest value thing that we can work on as engineers, as developers, as technical folks, or is there something more valuable that we should be working on that we should be aware of? That we should be asking deeper questions about. And it really started with that kind of inquisitive nature, always asking, why are we doing this?[00:04:16] You know, I’m here as part of this team, and I want to understand why we’re doing these things. So I can be more effective. So I can make sure that, I. Do as much as possible to make a successful[00:04:27] Dr Genevieve Hayes: That approach of asking all those why questions, that’s what they recommend to people in pretty much every management consulting advice book. The three. of Management Consulting. Why this? Why now? Why me? Did you pick that up from reading some sort of Management Consulting book or do you just have an naturally inquisitive nature?[00:04:48] Andrei Oprisan: now for me it was more natural, maybe a bit stubborn, maybe depending on what you ask, maybe a bit , irreverent just to sort of asking the question. So, , why are we doing this? But as a developer, as you’re building out features, you can build a very simple version of an ask or you can build something very complex that needs to scale. That needs to take into account a number of different kinds of factors. And so we really started with. Trying to understand, okay, what is the actual technical requirement and why do we think that is[00:05:16] and that’s usually defined by some kind of either tech lead and a team or a product manager or some combination thereof. And I found that to be very helpful, both for me and those non technical counterparts to ask those why questions because it really revealed a lot of the assumptions that went into the road map that went into even the business thinking there’s obviously some assumption that.[00:05:41] For instance, we’re going to invest in scale from a dev ops standpoint, for example to make sure these servers don’t tip over. We’ll be able to handle more traffic because we expect growth. Okay. But when is that? Why is that?[00:05:53] And it started from me, just not really understanding the business and wanting to learn and more wanting to learn on a deeper level to say, okay. I can understand. I became an expert in baby and wedding registries and all the competitors and I think that that’s part of what’s necessary to be able to build.[00:06:12] Good products that kind of obsession, with the product and , asking questions until you really understand the landscape and what you should and shouldn’t be building. I think those are critical aspects of knowing what to build and not to build to be able to.[00:06:26] And get some better outcomes.[00:06:28] Dr Genevieve Hayes: And so by asking these questions, did senior leadership see that as a sign that you had management or leadership potential and then did you naturally get promoted or did you actively seek out those business leadership roles?[00:06:44] Andrei Oprisan: I think a little bit of both, but more likely in the beginning. It was more the former, so I was asking. More of the questions for the sake of the questions and really wanting. To build a better product, which then led to just more responsibilities. And it was clear to me that I wanted.[00:07:02] Those kinds of questions to be asked and answered. And many times they want, many of those sort of technical conversations they were having, those kinds of questions weren’t really asked by the technical folks. And so I became the kind of person that would always ask those questions and always.[00:07:19] Push us to get good answers to those questions and really test those assumptions over time, as I became more senior in my roles building more complex systems that led to more complex questions that needed answers and increasingly got in front of more senior folks.[00:07:37] So what became conversations Within a team with a product manager or a junior product manager talking to junior engineers became conversations, between senior engineers. And directors of thought up and things like that. And so, I just became part of. In those rooms where those conversations were happening at a higher level that led me to ask more important white questions more around.[00:08:01] The business strategy, why do we think this is the right segment to tackle? Why do we think we’re going to build technology that is really differentiated, that is not just another solution that we could have just bought off the shelf.[00:08:13] And those are very interesting conversations to have. And I think that the kinds of conversations that we don’t get to really have, we’re not really focused on both the technical, but not technical just for the sake of technical sort of solutioning, but technology in the service of the business and the service of a business that is, wanting to grow and stay competitive and and be able to win at whatever the business is trying to do,[00:08:40] Dr Genevieve Hayes: It sounds like your nature made you very well suited to a business leadership role, even though you started off as a technical specialist. But I’ve met a lot of data scientists over the years who are very adamant that they don’t want to move away from purely technical roles and into leadership roles.[00:09:01] For example, I’ve been in teams where the team leader role has It’s been advertised and every single technical person in that team has refused to apply for it because they don’t want to move away from the tools. Is this something that you experienced early in your career?[00:09:19] Andrei Oprisan: definitely, and that’s part of every individuals journey as we’re moving through those individual contributor ranks. There are levels to the individual contributor roles, you can go from junior to very senior, to principal or staff or a member of technical staff and different companies have the sort of laddering that can even go up to the equivalent on the sort of management side, all the way to VP levels Microsoft is famous for, their laddering where you can have Distinguished engineers that are the equivalent of VPs will have hundreds of people who are reporting to them and have similar compensation structures.[00:09:55] So, again, it is possible. Not every organization is set up for that. And so I think part of this has to 1st, start with the right level of research and say, okay. If I’m the kind of person that wants to do only technical work. Will the career progression and this organization really support my objective,[00:10:14] if the most senior level that you can go to might be just a senior engineer level, that might be okay. And that might be the right place for you. But if you want me more responsible and we want to be more of an architect or someone who. Is coordinating, larger, project deployments across multiple divisions,[00:10:37] I would say, figure out if the organization. As those kinds of opportunities, and in many cases, they don’t, because they don’t know that I need, it hasn’t been proven as an actual need. So, part of it is, how comfortable are you? And being that sort of trailblazer and taking some risks and, of crafting your own role versus, working within the existing bounds where you may have a well defined ladder.[00:11:03] And, in other cases, it might be that, no, there is a ceiling and in many organizations, that is the case, especially in a non technology companies, and companies that certainly have a technology or it department and some fashion. But they might not have, the same level that you can go to.[00:11:21] Compared to in a potential business role and that needs to be a decision that is that made to say, okay, is this the right kind of place for me? Can I grow and learn? To the level that I’m looking to grow and learn to and then figure out, if you can sort of.[00:11:36] Move beyond some of those limitations, what are they and what are you comfortable with?[00:11:41] Dr Genevieve Hayes: Early in my career, it was the case that basically in Australia, if you wanted to get beyond a very moderate salary, you had to go into management if you’re a technical person. But. In recent years there are an increasing number of companies and organizations that are building in that technical stream.[00:12:03] I think Deloitte in Australia now does have a technical stream where you can get quite senior. And I know of some government organizations that also do. I’m not quite sure how well that works in practice, but it’s a move in the right direction.[00:12:20] Andrei Oprisan: Right, and I think that’s that’s only increased over time. I’ve only seen companies create more opportunities for those very senior technical folks, not fewer. So, again, I think it is encouraging, but I’d also say, you’re not going to find the same.[00:12:36] Leveling across the board for technical folks as you would, let’s say for management oriented and at a certain point, need to make the decision in terms of. Do you want to stay as an individual and the whole contributor, or are you open to management?[00:12:51] It doesn’t mean from a management standpoint, you’re not technical or, you’re not needing to your technical skills, but it may mean that, yes, you’re no longer coding every day. Right, you are maybe at best reviewing architecture documents and really pressure testing the way the systems are designed and having bigger conversations around, cost optimization and.[00:13:14] Privacy and security implications of the work that is being done and making sure that then those are addressed. Which again, there are different kinds of challenges. They’re still technically challenging. And you’re going to need good advice from additional folks, individual contributors on the teams, but they are different.[00:13:32] Dr Genevieve Hayes: The other thing I’d add to all this is, even if you choose to remain in that individual contributor stream, as you move up the ranks, you are still going to be associating more and more with senior leadership and having to think about things from a business point of view. It doesn’t matter whether you’re managing staff or not.[00:13:51] You need to become more business centric. And that idea that a lot of very technical data scientists have of just being left alone in a room to code all day. That’s not going to happen once you get above a certain level regardless of if you’re technical or a leader.[00:14:10] Andrei Oprisan: That’s right, and I think it’s. Figuring out the right balance of enough technical work, and that can mean different things over time with enough. Organizational impact, which is another way to look at the business elements of. You know, we’re doing a bunch of work, but again, is it making money?[00:14:29] Is it helping our customers get more of what they need? Is it improving some kind of output that the organization is measuring. If we can’t answer any of those questions , to some level of sophistication, then, if we’re working on the right thing or not, would we even know,[00:14:45] and would it even about it may be a very interesting technical problem, of course, but does it matter at all? will anyone even see it when you care? I think by, understanding the business understanding, maybe how many eyeballs. The product is going to get in front of and what the assumptions are and even, coming up with some of those numbers is going to really affect what you’re thinking about what you’re building and why you’re building.[00:15:09] Dr Genevieve Hayes: It sounds like you making that transition from being a technical expert to being a business leader was very organic for you, but was there ever a point in time where you actually consciously thought, okay, I’m actually focusing on this business leadership thing. I’m no longer a technical specialist.[00:15:28] I am a data science or engineering leader.[00:15:32] Andrei Oprisan: Yes, when I transitioned from Wayfair I work for an eCommerce consulting shop. So there is where I learned a lot of my sort of consulting skills and really understand how to talk to. Chief marketing officers and CEO. So understand, what exactly are you trying to accomplish?[00:15:48] But in those conversations, it became very clear to me that I needed to understand more about the business, not less, even as I was very technical, I was a tech lead, I was running the technology team, in charge with the recruiting with defining the staffing plans and also architecting some of the solutions.[00:16:10] And so it became very clear that I needed to understand even more. About what the actual goals were of the organization, because the very first iteration of the project we came in with the wrong assumptions completely, and we came up with some technical solutions that made no sense for where they were trying to go.[00:16:30] 2, 3, 5 years later we came up with something that made sense for a proof of concept and sort to get to an initial contract. But actually, we were setting them up for failure in 4 to 5 years were actually the solution that we were proposing wouldn’t be able to support the kinds of customization as they would need when they moved to 20 different supply chain partners and just having those conversations at a, higher level[00:16:57] It was very eye-opening when I walked out of a few of those meetings. Understanding that 90 percent of our assumptions were just incorrect. It’s like, Oh my God, what are we doing? And why are we having this entire team of engineers building these features for, I think it was Portugal and Spain stores where, we were just expected to lift and shift that for Japan, and that we’re just not going to be possible said, okay,[00:17:22] This made absolutely no sense. Let’s have deeper conversations about. The business what their goals are and how the technology is going to support that both now in the very short term, and we’re applying a very short term kind of mentality. But also long term also in 4 to 5 years, assuming the business is successful and they meet their objectives.[00:17:44] How can we make sure we’re enabling their long term growth?[00:17:48] Dr Genevieve Hayes: So it sounds like if one of our listeners wanted to follow your lead and move from technical specialist into a business leadership role, one of the first steps that they should take is to understand the objectives and goals of their organization and how their work can feed into achieving those goals and objectives.[00:18:09] Andrei Oprisan: Absolutely. I think it’s just having those simple questions answered around. What is the business? What is it doing? Why is it doing it? Why are they in this specific sector now? How has this evolved? And then being able to answer, how are they actually able to do that? Is it people?[00:18:28] Is it process? Is that technology is probably a combination of all of those different factors, but technology can have a multiplying effect, right? And I think it’s asking those questions in terms of where they are now and looking at different ways of expanding different ways of providing. Goods and services and using technology to more efficient.[00:18:49] And , it’s just looking at the business, but I would call it. A common sense approach and asking the kinds of questions. Okay. Someone in on the business side, if they can’t answer things in a simple. Way ask more questions if you can understand them in the terms that.[00:19:08] They’re giving back to you then then ask more clarifying questions. Don’t just assume. Right and it’s okay to not be an expert in those things. The challenge that I had in the beginning was getting frustrated with. My blind spots and my lack of really understanding I think it was.[00:19:24] You know, 1 of the early examples was this around tax treatments and, how obviously. Different territories have different rules for when and how you collect taxes.[00:19:34] It gets into a lot of complexity, but, it was very eyeopening. To ask more of those questions and to understand just how complex of an environment the business operates in, which allowed me to be a better developer, which allowed me to be a better team lead, which allowed me to then be a better partner, frankly, to those business folks who, you know, they have the same goals for the organization that we should have.[00:19:59] The company is going to grow. And if the company grows and it does well, then it means good things for everybody on the team. And if they don’t, that’s going to lead to equally bad things for everybody on the team. And so I think part of it is having that ownership mindset of it’s not someone else’s problem.[00:20:16] If we don’t understand this, it’s my problem. It’s my problem that we don’t understand how we’re going to need to customize this types engine. Because we might get hit with fines and we might need to retroactively as a severity one drop everything now. Anyways, kind of issue later than the line,[00:20:34] Dr Genevieve Hayes: So what is the single most important change our listeners could make tomorrow, regardless of whether their role is purely technical or not, to accelerate their data science impact and results and increase their business exposure?[00:20:47] Andrei Oprisan: I would say, ask, those deeper questions and figure out exactly the kind of work that they’re doing, how it’s having an impact on the bottom line. Whether it does or not, I think, understanding that very well understanding whether or not, the group that you’re in and the division is seen as a cost center or not or revenue center.[00:21:05] I think that’s the biggest sort of eye opening question that you can get answered and figure out, what are the broader objectives? Well, there are technical objectives. That the team has or business objectives that the whole division has and figuring out, okay, am I playing a part in that today or not?[00:21:26] Are we directly or indirectly? And how are my bosses or my bosses, bosses seeing the impact of the work that I’m doing in relation to the business success? And if there is no pathway for that, I think it’s the wrong kind of role in terms of long term growth. So again, if the work that you’re doing doesn’t have a measurable impact on that bottom line or on the growth of the organization, I think it’s worth asking deeper questions as to why that is or why it’s seen that way and how you can get into the kind of role that can help it.[00:22:03] With the growth and resiliency of the business.[00:22:06] Dr Genevieve Hayes: For listeners who want to get in contact with you, Andre, what can they do?[00:22:10] Andrei Oprisan: Sure. Can email me at Andre at agent.ai. Can find me on the web at oprisan.com. My blog is linked there as well. I’m on LinkedIn and x and. All the social networks with the same handles but more importantly, just, find me on agent. ai where I spend most of my time building AI agents helping out in the community giving folks feedback on how to build better agents.[00:22:35] And ultimately aiming to democratize AI and make it more accessible.[00:22:40] Dr Genevieve Hayes: And there you have it, another value packed episode to help turn your data skills into serious clout, cash, and career freedom.
