AI Forward
AI Forward — the podcast where we break down the world of artificial intelligence, one conversation at a time. I’m your host, Smriti Kirubanandan, and in each episode, we’ll explore the ideas, technologies, and people shaping the future of AI.
Artificial Intelligence isn’t just one thing — it’s a collection of technologies working together to transform how we live, work, and connect. From machine learning that helps systems improve with data, to natural language processing that enables computers to understand us, to computer vision, robotics, and generative AI — each piece is building towards something bigger: intelligence that augments human potential.
Think of AI as a spectrum. On one end, it powers everyday conveniences — like recommendation engines, voice assistants, and smart devices. On the other hand, it drives breakthroughs in medicine, climate science, creativity, and even space exploration. AI is already here, woven into the background of our lives — but its true impact is only just beginning.
In this show, we’ll dive into how AI works, what it means for industries, and the ethical questions we must face as we move forward. Whether you’re an innovator, a curious learner, or someone who just wants to understand what’s next — you’re in the right place.
Let’s move beyond the buzzwords, cut through the hype, and take a thoughtful, forward-looking journey into the world of artificial intelligence. This is AI Forward.
