Podcasts with World's Leading Data Science Experts

Until recently, I was not the ultimate podcast listener. Yet, I have started to manage my time quite well in the last couple of months with the effect of applying some habit-forming methods that I read in several books and blogs recently. This led me to give podcast-listening a try. I should admit that I really loved it and right now, I’m actually pushing myself to make it a new habit of mine.

I really enjoyed listening to a couple of podcast series, particularly the ones on the topic of artificial intelligence. Of course, everyone is talking about AI nowadays, but what I really wanted to do in fact was to curate a list of podcast series consisting of talks that are done with the world’s leading Data Science and AI experts.

These podcast are available for free on different platforms such as Soundcloud, Youtube, Apple Podcasts, Spotify and so on. You can listen to them on the platform of your choice.

As these podcast series have quite a lot of episodes, it will actually take me quite some time to finish them. Still, if you have any recommendations on this topic please let me know.

Through these series of podcasts you will have a chance to discover the ideas in the heads of people that led to great work. I enjoyed them so much, hope you will too!

Artificial Intelligence: AI Podcast

Artificial Intelligence podcast (AI podcast) is a series of conversations about technology, science, and the human condition hosted by Lex Fridman. These series of podcasts hosts accessible, big-picture conversations about the nature of intelligence with some of the most interesting people in the world thinking about AI from the perspective of deep learning, robotics, AGI, neuroscience, philosophy, psychology, cognitive science, economics, physics, mathematics, and more.

My favorite podcasts from these series (so far) are the following:


NVIDIA AI Podcast

Artificial intelligence has been described as “Thor’s Hammer“ and “the new electricity.” But it has also a bit of a mystery, even to those who know it the best. This series of podcasts tries to connect with some of the world’s leading experts in AI, deep learning and machine learning in order to explain how it works, how it is evolving and how it intersects with every facet of human endeavor, from art to science.

My favourite podcasts from this series (so far):

The AI Podcast · Stanford's Margot Gerritsen on Data Science and Women in Tech - Ep. 111
The AI Podcast · Ep. 25: Google's Ian Goodfellow on How an Argument in a Bar Led to Generative Adversarial Networks


WiDS Podcast

Women in Data Science, or WiDS in short, is a global movement that aims to inspire and educate data scientists worldwide, regardless of gender, and to support women in the field.

WiDS includes a number of initiatives such as a global conference, a global datathon, an education outreach program and of course, a podcast series featuring data science leaders from all around the world!

In this series of podcasts, leading women in data science share their work, advice, and lessons learned along the way with Professor Margot Gerritsen from Stanford University. Hear about how data science is being applied and having impact across a wide range of domains, from healthcare to finance to cosmology to human rights and more.

This one is actually one of my favorites! You can check it on here: https://www.widsconference.org/podcast.html

Hope you have a great time listening to them!
