Why humanity needs a 10x mindset, with Astro Teller

AI is ushering in a new era for humanity. And for Astro Teller, Captain of Moonshots at Alphabet’s X, AI’s transformative power is not just about technology; it’s about our human mindset. At X (no relation to the social media platform of the same name!), the Moonshot Factory’s audacious projects include Taraa, Google Glass, and Waymo. Teller says he cultivates a “10x mindset” for his team to find breakthrough solutions to the world's biggest challenges. Host Dr. Rana el Kaliouby sat down with Teller live on stage at the Masters of Scale Summit to help the audience find their own 10x mindset, extol the power of bold predictions, and explore what it means to be human in the age of AI.

Elad Ferber wants AI agents to answer the call

We all know what it’s like to call a medical office and wait on hold, just to provide basic information that only takes a few minutes once someone picks up. Medical workers face this, too, spending hours on calls to share patient details or billing codes. Elad Ferber, co-founder and CEO of Synthpop, is deploying AI agents to take those calls, using synthetic human voices with AI behind them to reduce administrative tedium in healthcare. Hear a Synthpop agent handle a call and more from Elad on how the technology works, along with the ethics of deploying AI to talk to humans and handle sensitive information.

Dr. Joy joins Pioneers of AI to share how she uncovered the deep roots and impacts of bias in AI, and how to address it. Pioneers of AI is made possible with support from Inflection AI.
