Pivotal Clarity | An AI Podcast
AI isn't new. It's been lurking in labs since the '50s, with bursts of enthusiasm and funding followed by "AI winters." But something's different now. In the last couple of years, AI has exploded into the mainstream in a way that feels both thrilling and overwhelming. Every day brings new breakthroughs, products, and predictions. It's hard to keep up. You might start your morning marveling at some new AI demo, only to end the day feeling lost in a sea of jargon and competing claims. That's why I started Pivotal Clarity. We talk to the people who are actually building and researching this stuff - the founders, engineers, and scientists who are a few steps ahead of the hype cycle. Our goal is simple: to cut through the noise and give you a clear picture of what's really happening in AI. We're not here to cheerlead or fearmonger. We just want to understand this technology that's reshaping our world, and help you understand it too. Whether you're building the next big AI startup or just trying to figure out what all this means for your job, Pivotal Clarity is for you. Each episode, we'll dive deep into one aspect of AI, guided by someone who knows it inside and out. No buzzwords, no fluff - just honest conversations and real insights. The world is changing fast. Let's try to see clearly where it's going

Welcome to Pivotal Clarity, an AI Podcast. AI isn't new. It's been lurking in labs since the '50s, with bursts of enthusiasm and funding followed by "AI winters." But something's different now.

In this Pivotal Clarity AI Podcast episode, Peter Voss, Founder and CEO of Aigo.ai, discusses the evolution of Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) with host Rajan. He highlights AGI's origins, current misconceptions, and the need to focus on real-time learning and adaptability over the narrow AI applications currently at play. Peter critiques reliance on large language models and advocates for a cognitive approach that mimics human learning.

Introducing our brand new podcast! 🚀 AI is changing everything, but most people don't see it yet. The real action isn't in flashy consumer apps or big tech PR. It's in obscure papers and github repos that are quietly redefining what's possible. I'm starting a podcast to explore this. It is called Pivotal Clarity. Not to hype AI, but to understand it. We'll dig into the technical details that matter and ignore the fluff. Each episode will dissect one key development in AI. We'll talk to the researchers and founders actually building these systems, not just commentators. The goal isn't to predict the future, but to spot the trends that will shape it. What are the smartest hackers excited about? What hard problems are suddenly becoming tractable? If you want to understand how AI will transform business and society, this podcast is for you. No buzzwords or hand-waving - just clear analysis of the ideas that matter. The first episode drops tomorrow. Subscribe if you're curious.
