For this episode, I’m joined by Alex Hernandez Garcia, a core academic member at Mila (the Quebec AI Institute) and a professor at the Université de Montréal.

In this episode, we move past the hype to expose the friction between corporate monopolies and open science, the massive disconnect between research progress and commercial deployment, and why current tech policies are failing to address our planetary boundaries. From using generative machine learning to discover green materials, to a raw breakdown of why "AGI" is a loaded term with dark, eugenic roots, this episode will catch anyone up on the true state of AI that barely gets talked about.
