For our second episode of A4N — the Artificial Neural Network News Network podcast — our resident virologist Dr. Grant Beyleveld fills us in on how anyone can contribute to the cure for the coronavirus pandemic. We also discuss mind-controlled prosthetic limbs and what it takes to succeed as an AI start-up.
Our special guest for the episode is Ben Taylor. Ben is the Co-Founder and Chief AI Officer of zeff.ai, an AI product company, and former Chief Data Scientist at HireVue. He is a prolific thinker and innovator, and we’re thrilled to have him as a guest on A4N!
