Ep121 "What’s the secret to intelligence (in brains and AI)?" with Ramesh Raskar

In this episode of Inner Cosmos, David Eagleman interviews Ramesh Raskar about the concept of decentralized AI and its potential future impact. They discuss how AI could move from large, centralized models to smaller, localized agents that operate together, preserving data privacy and incentivizing data sharing. Raskar introduces Project NANDA, an initiative aimed at fostering an open and vibrant ecosystem for AI agents, and envisions a future where individuals have their own AI agents that assist with various aspects of life, from healthcare to finance, while also addressing the ethical and legal challenges that may arise with autonomous AI agents.
