Super Data Science: ML & AI Podcast with Jon Krohn

VP of Engineering at Dropbox Josh Clemm speaks to Jon Krohn about consolidating search tools across apps with the AI-powered workspace, Dropbox Dash, the new collaborative AI systems that enhance interoperability between team members and their projects, and how to avoid “context rot”. Dropbox Dash gives users the best of Dropbox’s cloud storage and search functions, plus a “universal search” ability to locate information across multimedia and apps. “AI really needs to understand you and your team, first and foremost, and all that connected data,” says Josh.

Alex “Sandy” Pentland, Toshiba Professor of Media Arts & Science at MIT and Fellow at Stanford, speaks to Jon Krohn about his new book, Shared Wisdom, why he attributes AI to the collapse of the Soviet Union, and why those risks to society could still be relevant today. We can only achieve better system performance, Alex says, when we build tools that keep step with the way that people make decisions. Listen to the episode to hear Alex talk about how he is helping make AI agents work for individuals rather than the companies that develop them, and his work in making sure that systems operate consistently and fairly across the world.
