Podcasts about world problems

Dieser Podcast macht betroffen! Der kontinuierliche Verfall und die Absurdität kennen weiterhin keine Grenzen. Weil Arti ausfällt muss VRR-Marco herhalten und die Nummer wird dadurch nicht zwingend besser, aber dennoch sehr gesprächig. Es geht um die Zuneigung zu Müttern, Arbeitskampf, Arbeitskrampf, 1st-World-Problems und am Ende auch wieder um Saarländer und Geweihe. Wollen wir wirklich euer Feedback und wer braucht schon eine Abmoderation. Budapest in T Minus vier!

Plus, JT's friend Eric Allen will enter the Football HOF ... and they discuss the fat & fun Luka ... Steve Kerr's 1st World Problems, and much much more as lazy episode note writers say ...

What does it take to be a true pioneer in artificial intelligence education?The Milwaukee School of Engineering (MSOE) didn't just see AI coming—they got out in front of it. Dr. John Walz, President of MSOE, joins The TechEd Podcast to discuss how his institution became one of the first in the nation to offer a baccalaureate degree in AI and how it continues to lead in engineering, computing, and applied AI technology.MSOE's AI degree isn't just about theory—it's about application. Students get hands-on experience with Rosie, the university's supercomputer, tackling real-world projects in machine learning, computer vision, and AI-driven problem-solving. With deep ties to industry leaders like NVIDIA and a thriving AI Club that has grown into MSOE's largest student organization, the university is shaping a new generation of engineers who know how to apply AI to fields like healthcare, manufacturing, and finance.Listen to learn:How MSOE launched the one of the first undergraduate AI degrees in just 4 months—by staying agile and industry-drivenWhy Rosie the Supercomputer has processed over 150,000 AI jobs, from optimizing race cars to predicting global food shortagesHow MSOE's AI Club grew to 200+ members, bringing AI beyond computer science into business, nursing, and engineeringWhy MSOE appointed a Director of Applied AI Education & how they're embedding AI into academics, student success, and university operationsHow MSOE's partnership with NVIDIA and Dwight Diercks is giving students hands-on experience with real-world AI applications3 Big Takeaways from this Episode:Agility is key to staying ahead in AI education. MSOE launched its AI degree in just four months by listening to industry needs, leveraging existing strengths, and moving quickly—showing that institutions willing to adapt can lead in emerging fields.Applied learning makes AI education more impactful. Giving students hands-on experience with real-world projects—like MSOE's use of Rosie the Supercomputer and interdisciplinary AI applications—ensures graduates are job-ready and valuable to employers.AI should be embedded across the entire institution. Beyond coursework, AI can enhance university operations, student success, and recruitment.

How can computational language help decode the mysteries of nature and the universe? What is ChatGPT doing and why does it work?

What kinds of things do they want to think about? There is in the computational universe of all possibilities, there is sort of infinite creativity. There's an infinite collection of possibilities, but it's something that's a matter of human choice, which of these infinite things do we actually choose to pursue?

But actually, the exciting thing has been that both in my kind of work in building computational language, and in my work in understanding the computational foundations of physics, that it turns out that a bunch of those things that people have been arguing about for a couple of thousand years, we can actually say some real things about.It's a funny thing because I've spent my life sort of building this big tower of science and technology and, every so often, something comes out of that tower that people say, "This is a cool thing, we're really going to be excited about this particular thing." For me, the whole tower is the thing that's really important. And in the future, that's what the tower that I've tried to build is certainly the most significant thing I've been able to do. And it's something that, you know, I've been able to see now over the course of half a century or so, kind of how various ideas I've had and directions I've gone have actually played out.”www.stephenwolfram.comwww.wolfram.comwww.wolframalpha.comwww.wolframscience.com/nks/www.amazon.com/dp/1579550088/ref=nosim?tag=turingmachi08-20www.wolframphysics.orgwww.wolfram-media.com/products/what-is-chatgpt-doing-and-why-does-it-work/www.creativeprocess.infowww.oneplanetpodcast.orgIG www.instagram.com/creativeprocesspodcast

Wolfram authored A New Kind of Science and launched the Wolfram Physics Project. He has pioneered computational thinking and has been responsible for many discoveries, inventions and innovations in science, technology and business.“I think one very big example of this phenomenon is the computational irreducibility. This idea that even though you know the rules by which something operates, that doesn't immediately tell you everything about what the system will do. You might have to follow a billion steps in the actual operation of those rules to find out what the system does.There's no way to jump ahead and just say, "the answer will be such and such." Well, computational irreducibility, in a sense, goes against the hope, at least, of, for example, mathematical science. A lot of the hope of mathematical science is that we'll just work out a formula for how something is going to operate. We don't have to kind of go through the steps and watch it operate. We can just kind of jump to the end and apply the formula. Well, computational irreducibility says that that isn't something you can generally do. It says that there are plenty of things in the world where you have to kind of go through the steps to see what will happen.In a sense, even though that's kind of a bad thing for science, it says that there's sort of limitations on the extent to which we can use science to predict things. It's sort of a good thing, I think, for leading one's life because it means that as we experience the passage of time, in a sense, that corresponds to the sort of irreducible computation of what we will do.It's something where that sort of tells one that the passage of time has a meaningful effect. There's something that where you can't just jump to the end and say, "I don't need to live all the years of my life. I can just go and say, and the result will be such and such." No, actually, there's something sort of irreducible about that actual progression of time and the actual living of those years of life, so to speak. So that's kind of one of the enriching aspects of this concept of computational irreducibility. It's a pretty important concept. It's something which I think, for example, in the future of human society, will be something where people right now will think of it as this kind of geeky scientific idea, but in the future, it's going to be a pivotal kind of thing for the understanding of how one should conduct the future of human society.”www.stephenwolfram.comwww.wolfram.comwww.wolframalpha.comwww.wolframscience.com/nks/www.amazon.com/dp/1579550088/ref=nosim?tag=turingmachi08-20www.wolframphysics.orgwww.wolfram-media.com/products/what-is-chatgpt-doing-and-why-does-it-work/www.creativeprocess.infowww.oneplanetpodcast.orgIG www.instagram.com/creativeprocesspodcast

“There's no faster way to learn than to do. And the beauty of VR is that it allows you to learn through experience without the physical or emotional risk.” In this episode of The Inner Chief podcast, I speak to Angus Stevens, Co-Founder and CEO of Start Beyond on taking learning by experience to new frontiers, putting guardrails on innovation, and creating useful technology for tangible real-world problems.

How can physics help solve messy, real world problems? How can we embrace the possibilities of AI while limiting existential risk and abuse by bad actors?Neil Johnson is a physics professor at George Washington University. His new initiative in Complexity and Data Science at the Dynamic Online Networks Lab combines cross-disciplinary fundamental research with data science to attack complex real-world problems. His research interests lie in the broad area of Complex Systems and ‘many-body' out-of-equilibrium systems of collections of objects, ranging from crowds of particles to crowds of people and from environments as distinct as quantum information processing in nanostructures to the online world of collective behavior on social media.“It gets back to this core question. I just wish I was a young scientist going into this because that's the question to answer: Why AI comes out with what it does. That's the burning question. It's like it's bigger than the origin of the universe to me as a scientist, and here's the reason why. The origin of the universe, it happened. That's why we're here. It's almost like a historical question asking why it happened. The AI future is not a historical question. It's a now and future question.I'm a huge optimist for AI, actually. I see it as part of that process of climbing its own mountain. It could do wonders for so many areas of science, medicine. When the car came out, the car initially is a disaster. But you fast forward, and it was the key to so many advances in society. I think it's exactly the same as AI. The big challenge is to understand why it works. AI existed for years, but it was useless. Nothing useful, nothing useful, nothing useful. And then maybe last year or something, now it's really useful. There seemed to be some kind of jump in its ability, almost like a shock wave. We're trying to develop an understanding of how AI operates in terms of these shockwave jumps. Revealing how AI works will help society understand what it can and can't do and therefore remove some of this dark fear of being taken over. If you don't understand how AI works, how can you govern it? To get effective governance, you need to understand how AI works because otherwise you don't know what you're going to regulate.”https://physics.columbian.gwu.edu/neil-johnsonhttps://donlab.columbian.gwu.eduwww.creativeprocess.infowww.oneplanetpodcast.org IG www.instagram.com/creativeprocesspodcast

I think we're going to turn into a very creative period where education becomes creative, rather than jumping through the hoops and remembering things. I'm really excited for anybody who's entering there. I was my first generation going to college. There was one that stands out by miles—a teacher I had in elementary school when I was eight. He was from Jamaica and just arrived in England. He was a jazz musician. He would start off the day playing jazz. He taught math as well, but he brought in a technique, which I still use to this day, to multiply numbers together. I've never seen it taught anywhere, it was done in some kind of slanted table. We'd done multiplication the previous year and I couldn't understand it, but he drew these tables and I thought this was just remarkable. That set me off and it showed me there was this interesting thing called jazz, and you don't have to do much to actually change a lot. Passing on some idea that might be unusual, as long as you can back it up, can have a really positive benefit going forward for future generations.”https://physics.columbian.gwu.edu/neil-johnsonhttps://donlab.columbian.gwu.eduwww.creativeprocess.infowww.oneplanetpodcast.org IG www.instagram.com/creativeprocesspodcast

"So in our projects, part of the creative process is learning how to interact with other disciplines. It's not something academia in general does. I happen to be a saxophone player. In something like music, the richness comes from different instruments—their shortcomings and advantages combined together. My hope is that's what we end up doing in the academic field to try and address some of these messy problems.I was my first generation going to college.

He would start off the day playing jazz. He taught math as well, but he brought in a technique, which I still use to this day, to multiply numbers together. I've never seen it taught anywhere, it was done in some kind of slanted table. We'd done multiplication the previous year and I couldn't understand it, but he drew these tables and I thought this was just remarkable. That set me off and it showed me there was this interesting thing called jazz, and you don't have to do much to actually change a lot. Passing on some idea that might be unusual, as long as you can back it up, can have a really positive benefit going forward for future generations.I just wish I was a young scientist going into this because that's the question to answer: Why AI comes out with what it does. That's the burning question. It's like it's bigger than the origin of the universe to me as a scientist, and here's the reason why. The origin of the universe, it happened. That's why we're here. It's almost like a historical question asking why it happened. The AI future is not a historical question. It's a now and future question.”How can physics help solve messy, real world problems?

We look at background behavior. Is there a burst of new activity? We zoom in on that and ask why that is suddenly appearing and why it didn't appear before. Imagine one day you wake up and you find water in a pot is boiling and you want to understand why water is boiling. If you go at it one molecule at a time, it's not giving you the big picture of what is going on. We've probably all done this: you take milk, stick it in the fridge, too lazy to go to the grocery, so you just leave it there. The 11th day, the milk's gone bad. Why did that happen on the 11th day? What was happening was that all you could see was the kind of macro level, you couldn't see the individual pieces of milk. This is a new area of physics, exactly the same as how shock waves—a wave that builds up so quickly, there's no kind of precursor—appear. Using the data we collect online, we have a tool for making predictions of when we expect shocks to arise and what shape they'll have. So the reason we went for a systems level view is because you can't understand water boiling one molecule at a time.”https://physics.columbian.gwu.edu/neil-johnsonhttps://donlab.columbian.gwu.eduwww.creativeprocess.infowww.oneplanetpodcast.org IG www.instagram.com/creativeprocesspodcast

Non World Problems by McKyla by 826 Valencia

It's essential for law firms to contribute to the space they're working in and not just have answers for hypothetical situations. In this podcast, Africa Legal host Craig Sisterson chats to Eric Gumbo about providing real-world solutions to clients. In Africa's dynamic and multi-faceted legal landscape, Eric Gumbo emerges as a paragon of collaborative success and relationship building. As a seasoned advocate practising at G&A Advocates LLP, a Kenyan full service law firm which he founded in 2006, Gumbo has dedicated his professional trajectory to cultivating meaningful connections with clientele spanning diverse industries. G&A's purpose, he says, is to provide real-world solutions to real-world problems. “Our clients are at the heart of what we do,” Gumbo told Sisterson. Over the last 18 years, G&A Advocates LLP has become a trusted advisor, handling a number of highly complex and sensitive matters, including providing counsel in electoral disputes that have arisen following the past three presidential elections in Kenya. In handling political disputes, Gumbo believes in fostering transparent communication which enables the firm to deliver customised solutions. “It gives us an opportunity to contribute to what you would call the ‘democratic space' of our country,” he said. G&A seeks to contribute to key sectors of the economy both in Kenya and in the region, and Gumbo views energy as an integral sector in Kenya, and the backbone of economic activities in the East African country. The firm plays a significant role in advising on the energy transition agenda in Kenya and the region. Working on a Kenya-Djibouti green energy project gave G&A an opportunity to have high-level impact. “It gave us an opportunity to understand how much lawyers can impact society through deliberate and well-structured documents in a way that not only achieves success for the client's project, but also helps them achieve greater societal objectives,” Gumbo added. Another significant mandate that the firm recently received was advising on a recent Eurobond or sovereign debt transaction. Gumbo believes in building the capacity of Kenyan firms, so with this client G&A brought on board a few up and coming law firms which would not otherwise have had the opportunity to work on such a deal. This, he said, was done so that they could collectively contribute to the advancement and evolution of the legal landscape in Africa. In their discussion, Gumbo shares with Sisterson the values the firm espouses, saying client centricity, tailoring solutions to best fit their needs, professionalism and integrity are their top priorities. The podcast wraps up with Gumbo sharing the firm's future-focused outlook which will ensure it remains relevant in the industry and society as a whole.

Today's guest is VIPR's Client Services Director, David Butler. On this show I speak to lots of CEOs and that means my guests are sometimes quite far removed from the day-to-day solving of problems for clients. David's job is to be as close to the client as possible, finding out what their real problems are and therefore what they really need. It's then his job to make sure that what VIPR are providing those customers with is exactly what's required – and more importantly that customers have all the training and support to make sure they can get the maximum benefit out of a product and can adapt and reconfigure it effectively as their business develops. All this means is that he probably has his finger closer on the pulse of what is worrying carriers in the market than almost anyone around. So as the market digitises and looks to analyse the new data pools that it is collecting and apply new technologies like AI at many different points in the value chain, it is people like David who are going to be doing all the heavy lifting. David is a technology specialist with just under 30 years' experience and his insights into how to make the most of all the exciting new tech at our disposal or just coming onstream, is hugely valuable. He's also a really friendly person who has spent much of that long career explaining complicated ideas in ways that are really easy to understand and that's why I can heartily recommend a listen today. NOTES I promised to look up what the common computing term BUS stands for: BUS is an acronym for Binary Unit System. These are used to used to transfer data around a network (a bit like the way a real-life bus moves people about).

As we all get ready to keep the Feast of Tabernacles, we are reminded of what these eight days mean. The world that we know will change and we will have a part in that change. As you think about a restored world and being a part of it, let's ask the simple question, “What would you change?”

Hour 2: How realistic is it that Max Scherzer and/or Justin Verlander can be traded in the next two weeks? Gio would find a way to unload Scherzer. Jerry wonders if Scherzer or Verlander would even waive their no-trade clauses for certain contenders. Maybe these pitchers think they owe it to Steve Cohen to stick it out with the Mets. Will there be a market correction on the price for starting pitchers? Starters make too much money and good relievers don't make enough. CLo returns for an update but first Jerry asks if golfing has cut into Gio's boat time and Gio shares a story about a boat mishap. He's losing it with his boat. Some guys out on the water in Suffolk are not familiar with Gio or WFAN. John Flaherty did play-by-play for Sunday's Yankees loss. What happened to Anthony Rizzo? The Yankees bullpen is going through a tough stretch. The Mets somehow managed to win a game. What happened to Pete Alonso? Max Scherzer had a lot to say about mud in his cleats and his landing spot. In the final segment of the hour, Gio explains that he knows his slip problem is a first-world problem but it's still frustrating. We hear from callers who feel Gio's pain. Gio and Jerry discuss other embarrassing moments to have strangers witness.
