8: Episode 8- Ethics in Technology (Featuring Sarah Shaik and Nakul Malhotra)
<div>On the season finale, Rea and Ashwin are joined by Sarah Shaik and Nakul Malhotra. The theme of our discussion is 'ethics in technology' <br> <br> We discuss the example of a smart home speaker (think 'Google Home') and all the ethichal aspects around Google Home's usage and data governance.<br> Sarah introduces us to the 3 pillars of ethics in technology - 1. rights to data, 2. utilitarianism and 3. Common good while Nakul talks about how there is a need to be cautiously optimistic while developing and adopting technology.<br> We also talk about the growing influence of the big techs and their responsibility to be ethical while scaling. <br> <br> Our guests, Sarah and Nakul work as software engineers/developers in California and are quite passionate about the ethical side of tech. <br> <br> Their LinkedIn's-<br> <br> Sarah Shaik- <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/sarah-shaik/">https://www.linkedin.com/in/sarah-shaik/</a><br> <br> Nakul Malhotra- <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/nakulmalhotra/">https://www.linkedin.com/in/nakulmalhotra/</a><br> <br> Links- <br> <br> Google Assistant calling a restaurant for a reservation<br> <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-RHG5DFAjp8">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-RHG5DFAjp8</a> </div>

7: Episode 7 - Deep Neural Networks & Deep Learning
<div>On the 7th episode, we recap Neural Networks and introduce Deep Neural Networks / Deep Learning. We discuss the advantages of Deep Learning , its real-world applications, and how they are different from neural networks. Deep Learning is compute-intensive and when used well, can save thousands of hours while trying to make predictions. <br> <br> <strong>Show notes</strong>-<br> Edu material - <br> Neural Networks in 5 minutes - <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bfmFfD2RIcg">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bfmFfD2RIcg</a><br> <br> How Deep Neural Networks Work - <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ILsA4nyG7I0">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ILsA4nyG7I0</a><br> <br> <strong>Relevant timestamps- <br> </strong>00.15-2.30 - Recap of Neural Networks<br> 2.30-4.30 - Introduction to topic and business application<br> 4.30- 7.30 - Introduction to deep learning (with retail example)<br> 7.30- Behind the scenes-Neural Networks<br> 10.00- 10.45- Difference between neural networks and deep learning<br> 10.45- 14.00 - How Deep Learning Is self-teaching<br> 14.00- 15.00 Deep Learning and its resource instensive nature<br> 15.00 - 17.15- Benefits of Cloud in enabling deep learning<br> 17.15-19.30 - Summary<br> 19.30-20.00- Special Announcement and wrap up </div>

6: Episode 6 - A sneak peek into Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML)
<div>On episode 6, we discuss some common day-to-day examples of where AI and ML are being used. For example - Spotify's Discovery feature, Youtube Video Recommendations, Facial Recognition. <br> <br> We deep dive into the example of how AI and ML tools can help with predicting the value of a property. We understand why and how more data (and inputs) increases the accuracy of whatever we are trying to predict (in this case, the property value). <br> <br> We also throw in some mild regression and stats references to sound smart but the episode remains simple for the most part to introduce the concept of neural networks. <br> <br> We discuss the use of these neural networks (a series of algorithms) that enable the AI and ML predictions. We discuss their application in retail (Online shopping like Instacart and Sephora) and how these tools help for better customer repeat purchases and retention. Other industries we touch are real estate as well as raiways.<br> <br> "The more Instacart you use, the better Instacart gets at predicting the items you would want to shop for."<br> <br> <strong>Edu material- <br> </strong><br> A relevant Youtube video that summarizes AI/ML - <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mJeNghZXtMo">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mJeNghZXtMo</a><br> <br> <strong>Timestamps - <br> <br> </strong>0.30' - 1.30' - Topic Introduction<br> 1.30' - 4.00'- Various day-to-day examples<br> 4.00' - 9.00'- Application in Real Estate<br> 10.00' - 13.00' Application in Retail (Instacart and Sephora)<br> 13.00' - 14.00'- Privacy Concerns around data collection<br> 14.00'- 15 Online Grocery Store Ocado using Dynamic Pricing to decide prices<br> 15.15'- 16.00' How these predictions get better (investment to improve algorithm accuracy by reducing margin of error)<br> 16.00 - 17.30' Application in Railways<br> 17.30' - 19.10' - Summary and wrap up.</div>
