Can 'Big Math' Solve for the Future? (with Terence Tao and Dawn Nakagawa)

As AI floods the world with answers that merely sound right, math tethers them to the need to be actually right. New machine learning tools and collaboration platforms are pushing theoretical mathematics toward something bigger: large, open projects where progress is shared early; rabbit holes are avoided; and more people can contribute. In this episode, Terence Tao, a Fields Medal-winning mathematician at UCLA, lays out his case for “big math.” He explains what AI can do well — and where it still fails. The question isn’t whether machines can produce answers. It’s whether we can build systems, human and technical, that keep those answers tethered to truth.

What Exactly is Futurology? (with Nils Gilman & Grant Slater)

What Exactly is Futurology? (with Nils Gilman & Grant Slater)

When it comes to the future, ideas matter. From artists and architects, politicians and prognosticators, the concepts guiding what’s next don’t always mix well with what’s right in front of us. This c...

The Democratization of Violence (with Fareed Zakaria and Nathan Gardels)

The Democratization of Violence (with Fareed Zakaria and Nathan Gardels)

The state used to hold a monopoly on violence. That world is ending. A $15,000 drone can hold the Strait of Hormuz hostage. Pirates can afford one. So can drug smugglers. Meanwhile, the alliances that...

We Were Promised a World Without Work… (with Nick Srnicek and Nils Gilman)

We’re being told that automation can free us. Machines will do the drudge work, and we will reclaim our time. But that’s not how things are going. Instead, artificial intelligence has concentrated pow...

Against the Tyranny of Certainty (with Elif Shafak and Nils Gilman)

We are living through an age of acceleration. The hardest part is not necessarily the pace of change, but the societal whiplash it creates. One decade we are promised a frictionless future. The next w...
