Warning: Shane does talk about some of his early career working in labs doing experiments with animals, so if you want to skip this detail, please fast forward to 1:30.

New for 2022, I will be exploring a number of examples of AI Art using a range of generative algorithms to achieve the creation of AI Art. In this episode I discuss with Data Scientist Shane Neeley, who has himself experimented with generative algorithms to contribute sections of his books.  I recorded this episode towards the end of last year, but it seems even more relevant than ever for 2022.

AI Art take many forms, and in future episodes I will explore other artistic mediums that AI can contribute. However this episode, and Shane's experience has been with text generation.

Shane is an experienced Data Scientist with a demonstrated history of working in the software industry. Skilled in many aspects of biomedical and clinical application development. Well rounded machine learning background that includes aspects of natural language processing, document classification, sentiment analysis and computer vision. Strong engineering professional who graduated from Rice University.

Shane also give some great insights and advice on how to get started in Data Science and build a career in AI and Machine Learning. He also gives some guidance on how to get started with generative algorithms.

In future episodes, I will be exploring other forms of AI Art, from Music, Images, Videos and Films. I will also look at how these technologies can also be applied more into the world of Science, Innovation & Invention.

Denis Rothman (linkedin, amazon) is an Artificial Intelligence Expert, inventor, designer, and full-stack developer of 3 cutting-edge artificial intelligence solutions that he has been innovating using Python AI/ML/DL, Tensorflow, IBM Watson, AWS(Amazon), IBM Q, Azure, Google Cloud. He is also author of the following AI books:

• Author of Artificial Intelligence by Example, 2nd Edition,2020, Packt (available on Amazon)  
• Author of Hands-On Explainable AI (XAI) with Python, 2020, Packt (available on Amazon) 
• Author of Transformers for Natural Language Processing, 2021, Packt (available on Amazon) 

We had a conversation rooted in his two latest books, Explainable AI and Transformers for NLP, but we end up talking about a number of related and unrelated topics. 

To launch the fourth series I am delighted to announce the first episode: Fireside Conversation with Michael Wignall, Azure Business Lead at Microsoft UK about building a data driven organisation.

Michael Wignall is currently the Azure Business Lead at Microsoft UK and has been with Microsoft for 13 years, having a range of roles, from technology solutions leading all the way to CTO of Microsoft UK. Michael comes with vast experience and knowledge of both Microsoft, but also how data and analytics is helping to drive the performance of their customers. He covers everything within Azure, from the core technologies, to data platforms, IoT, Quantum, Mesh, VR & AR.

For inspiration for the conversation, I used three key topics covered in the recent eBook by Microsoft, entitled “BUILDING A DATA-DRIVEN ORGANISATION - How analytics can give you a competitive edge”. Specifically, disruptive business models, scaling AI culture, and improving decision making throughout an organisation.

A discussion with John Spooner, who is Head of Artificial Intelligence EMEA at H2O.ai

John is at the centre of one of the most important cloud independent ML platforms available which is founded in the open source and data science community but has evolved to become a major player in the scaled AI enterprise implementations.

Our conversation covers a number of very interesting topics, including MLOps, ML Engineers, Cloud platforms, ML Applications, Driverless AI, the role of Data Scientists and much more.

We also talk about the Kaggle Masters that H2O employ to act as consultants to help clients solve their most difficult analytical challenges and how these experts also feed into the algorithms that will get added into the H2O platform over time.

Echoborg is an amazingly funny and thought-provoking show created afresh each time by the audience in conversation with an artificial intelligence. Listen to me discuss Echoborg with the Founder and Creator Phil D Hall. Phil brought his AI show to my AI Conference last year and it was a big hit with everyone who experienced it, myself included.

Phil is a great guest and even manages to get me talking about my Computer Science teacher from high school, Mr Fry, who really got me excited by the wonders of technology.

My Keynote talk from the Virtual AI Summit London. I chaired and gave a keynote on the Optimise stage on the 3rd Sept. 

While we are entering the golden age of AI, we have a number of challenges to deploying AI at scale. The keynote talk discusses some of these challenges and gives an introduction to some of the themes and topics discussed by other speakers on the stage. 

A recording from our third monthly Live Show with Jen Stirrup from Data Relish (https://datarelish.net).

The talk focused on AI Leadership and Delivery. We discuss aspects of data challenges and opportunities for SME organisations. We highlight the importance of understanding your data and the concept of no regrets projects. Jen has an amazing list of industry awards and a thought leader in the space of data and analytics.

This is our first Byte-sized-Bits edition (less than 10mins). The topic is GPT-3 and are we being fooled by its amazing capabilities. The area of natural language processing and understanding with AI is  hugely important and still developing, but the advances we are seeing with these generative algorithms to create new content and materials is stunning. But we are being fooled by the capabilities. These algorithms are not as intelligence as we might think. Check out OpenAI and GPTcrush.com for more information on GPT-3.

Johan Steyn interviewed me a few weeks ago for his collection of AI interviews.
In this edited version of the interview, I share some details on my background, the work I am doing with companies and AI startups, including highlighting some of the challenges these companies are having. I also talk about the book I am writing which looks to the future of AI, and the AI Book i was a co-author on which is focused on the adoption of AI in the fintech space. To learn more about my consultancy businesses visit either Combined Intelligence or Pardoe Ventures for AI Startups. For more information about the show visit Pardoe.AI/Show

An edited short edition of the recording from our second monthly Live Show with Professor Nigel Crook, Director of the Institute of Ethical AI at Oxford Brookes University. The talk focused on many aspects of AI Ethics. Nigel shares the work he is doing at the Institute including how they support businesses needing guidance on AI vendor products from an ethical perspective. We discuss the various aspects of Ethics and what is being done to manage the challenges. We talk about Robot rights and AI agent Morals.

A highlight of the show is the slight difference of opinion on how Morals will be encoded into AI agents.

An Introduction to Video Analytics and Facial Recognition Technology, a balanced discussion on some of the opportunities and challenges. Highlighting the data privacy concerns as well as the ethical considerations. Data Bias and Decision Transparency are key challenges, but is the answer to solve these problems with the training data, the diversity of the data science teams building the systems or somewhere else. Listen to this episode to find out. The blog on which this podcast is based is available here - https://andypardoe.com/blog/a-commentary-on-facial-recognition-technology-and-its-applications/ For more information visit Pardoe.AI/Show.

This is Part 1 of 3 in a series discussing the Definition of Artificial Intelligence. In this first part we highlight the challenges that prevent us not having a universally accepted standard definition of AI. We need to acknowledge that the journey to advanced AI is actually a Continuum of Intelligence (the title of my soon to be published Book), and that mapping the journey may be more beneficial than having a status definition. I introduce an alternative to a single definition that might become more useful, the Index of Intelligence that will help us map both the capabilities and capacity of AI agents. Part 2 will discuss in much more detail the Index of Intelligence, and Part 3 will discuss other fundamental capabilities of intelligence, including the misunderstanding and potential role of consciousness in delivering advanced AI solutions.
