Interview with an AI scientist
In today’s show we have the pleasure of having a conversation with my childhood friend Nicolas Loy Rodas. Nicolas is an absolute beast in his field. Just wait until you see his CV (here). He spends his time in the field of medical research developing groundbreaking technology that will only make medical procedures safer and change medical education.
Our conversation centered around his field of work and artificial intelligence. We discussed his body of research and also general themes around artificial intelligence. The reality is, whether we like it or not, A.I. is here to stay and it will continue to change the way we live, how we relate with each other, and will most definitely change the social fabric.
Like the good nerds we are, we tried going deep into subjects like the future of work, consciousness, data privacy, and whether we will be completely destroyed by killer robots. Luckily for us Nicolas is way smarter than us and kept us in check. Tune in to the episode and enjoy!
