Thinking Machines: AI & Philosophy

Daniel hosts our machine learning research intern and Cambridge Masters student, Andy Lo, to talk about the present and future of ML programming. Topics include:
  • PyTorch vs. TensorFlow vs. Jax vs MoJo
  • No-code, low-code and pro-code for ML engineers
  • The (frustrating) world of debugging ML code

What is Thinking Machines: AI & Philosophy?

“Thinking Machines,” hosted by Daniel Reid Cahn, bridges the worlds of artificial intelligence and philosophy - aimed at technical audiences. Episodes explore how AI challenges our understanding of topics like consciousness, free will, and morality, featuring interviews with leading thinkers, AI leaders, founders, machine learning engineers, and philosophers. Daniel guides listeners through the complex landscape of artificial intelligence, questioning its impact on human knowledge, ethics, and the future.

We talk through the big questions that are bubbling through the AI community, covering topics like "Can AI be Creative?" and "Is the Turing Test outdated?", introduce new concepts to our vocabulary like "human washing," and only occasionally agree with each other.

Daniel is a machine learning engineer who misses his time as a philosopher at King's College London. Daniel is the cofounder and CEO of Slingshot AI, building the foundation model for psychology.
