There are big hitters in the AI space that use this tech for humanitarian and environmental good—from start-ups fighting climate change to voice recognition experts diagnosing diseases. But you don't need to be backed by AWS or Microsoft to do good. In part two of this series, we dive into how anyone can use AI for good.

Phoebe Sajor

In a world where AI is replacing human workers, using up energy and water, and deepening disconnect, is AI for humanitarian good even possible? The answer is yes. In the first part of this two part series, we're taking a look at just a few AI do-gooders and what they're doing to fight climate change, make healthcare more accessible, and help their communities.

Ryan is joined by Professor Tom Griffiths, the head of Princeton University’s AI Lab, to dive into findings from his new book The Laws of Thought, which explores the history of the philosophy, mathematics, and logic that underlie artificial intelligence, and scientists' efforts to describe our minds using mathematics.

Not only is there a future for software development, but we’re on the cusp of enormous demand for code developed by humans.

We have another two-for-one special this week, with two more interviews from the floor of re:Invent.

Phoebe Sajor

Quality software still needs high-quality code, AI agents or not.

Ryan Donovan

Two guests for the price of one! This episode has two interviews recorded at AWS re:Invent back in December.

Phoebe Sajor

Successful implementation and scaling of enterprise AI projects is fundamentally a people and operating model challenge, not just a technology problem.

Eira May

We're running a survey to understand how people are using AI to learn and whether that's helping, hurting, and replacing tools.

Erin Yepis, Ryan Donovan

What specific kind of bugs is AI more likely to generate? Do some categories of bugs show up more often? How severe are they? How is this impacting production environments?

David Loker

Ryan welcomes Anthony Vinci, former senior intelligence officer and author of The Fourth Intelligence Revolution, to explore AI’s evolving role in intelligence in places like translation and image analysis, the challenges of evolving modern tech into government infrastructure, and the importance of democratized intelligence so citizens can keep themselves and loved ones safe.

Phoebe Sajor

Ryan sits down with Michael Parker, VP of Engineering at TurinTech to discuss the newest kind of tech debt—AI-generated tech debt. They dive into the uneven productivity results of AI tools, how tech teams are evolving their roles and work in response to these massive technological shifts, and what the nervous developer can do to maintain joy in their work.

Ryan welcomes back the mighty Scott Hanselman, VP of Developer Community at Microsoft, for a crossover episode about all things vibe coding.

Phoebe Sajor

Pete Johnson, Field CTO, Artificial Intelligence at MongoDB, joins the podcast to say that looking at AI’s impact as a job killer is a flawed metric.

Ryan Donovan

Ryan hosts Akamai data scientist Robert Lester on the show to discuss how the growth of AI bots affects internet traffic, the ways these AI bots differ from the original search engine optimization ones, and why you might not want to mitigate AI bots on your websites.

Phoebe Sajor

Ryan sits down with Tom Totenberg, head of release automation at LaunchDarkly, to discuss the perils of taking too many shortcuts in software development, how business pressures and AI code tools have contributed to dangerous corner cutting, and the importance of balancing speed with sustainability to maintain system integrity.

Phoebe Sajor

Evaluating question quality and determining the appropriate feedback required some classic ML techniques in addition to our GenAI solution.

Derek Cheng, Caroline Thomas, Ryan Donovan

MIT and Stanford professor Alex “Sandy” Pentland joins the show to explore the power of communities for shared knowledge and how AI could hurt or help the growth of these communities.

Phoebe Sajor

For promising Gen Z students, a career as a software developer seemed like the golden ticket to career stability and success. But in the age of AI, the career promise for Gen Z software developers is gone.
