For today’s episode, we’ll hear from AI pioneer Yoshua Bengio who is a Turing-award winning computer scientist, AI XPRIZE advisory board member, and one of the “godfathers of machine learning”. Yoshua takes us on a deep dive into how machine learning is helping us in the fight against Covid-19. Yoshua pulls the curtains back on two AI projects, one around prediction of contagiousness, and a second on antiviral drug discovery. Both projects lead to a discussion about the need to change our economic and social structures to maximize collective well-being.
