• #302 Making AI Applications like Greased Lightning with William Falcon, CEO at Lightning AI

  AI tooling continues to expand with specialized solutions for every step of the development process. For data scientists and engineers, this creates a paradox: more options but potentially more complexity and integration challenges. How do you determine which tools actually improve productivity versus adding unnecessary overhead? Should you prioritize flexibility with individual best-of-breed components or streamline with integrated platforms? What's the most effective way to bridge the gap between experimentation and production-ready AI applications?William Falcon is an AI researcher and the CEO of Lightning AI. He is the creator of PyTorch Lightning, a lightweight framework designed for training models of any size. As the founder of Lightning AI, he leads the development of Lightning AI Studios and the AI Hub. Falcon also shares his expertise in AI research and machine learning engineering through educational content on YouTube and X (formerly Twitter). He is passionate about leveraging AI for social impact.In the episode, Richie and William explore the NY AI hub, the journey from AI idea to production, diverse perspectives in AI development, how Lightning AI simplifies AI workflows, the significance of open-source models, and much more.Links Mentioned in the Show:Lightning AIPyTorch LightningConnect with WilliamCourse: Introduction to Deep Learning in PyTorch CourseRelated Episode: Building Multi-Modal AI Applications with Russ d'Sa, CEO & Co-founder of LiveKitRewatch sessions from RADAR: Skills EditionNew to DataCamp?Learn on the go using the DataCamp mobile appEmpower your business with world-class data and AI skills with DataCamp for business

• #301 What the Like Button Tells You About Your Customers with Bob Goodson, Inventor of the Like Button

  The like button has transformed how we interact online, becoming a cornerstone of digital engagement with over 7 billion clicks daily. What started as a simple user interface solution has evolved into a powerful data collection tool that companies use to understand customer preferences, predict trends, and build sophisticated recommendation systems. The data behind these interactions forms what experts call the 'like graph' - a valuable network of connections that might be one of your company's most underutilized assets.Bob Goodson is President and Founder of Quid, a Silicon Valley–based company whose AI models are used by a third of the Fortune 50. Before starting Quid, he was the first employee at Yelp, where he played a role in the genesis of the like button and observed firsthand the rise of the social media industry. After Quid received an award in 2016 from the World Economic Forum for “Contributions to the Future of the Internet,” Bob served a two-year term on WEF’s Global Future Council for Artificial Intelligence & Robotics. While at Oxford University doing graduate research in language theory, Bob co-founded Oxford Entrepreneurs to connect scientists with business-minded students. Bob is co-author of a new book, Like: The Button That Changed the World, focussed on the origins of the ubiquitous Like Button in social media.In the episode, Richie and Bob explore the origins of the like button, its impact on user interaction and business, the evolution of social media features, the significance of relational data, and the future of social networks in the age of AI, and much more.Links Mentioned in the Show:Bob’s book—Like: The Button That Changed the WorldConnect with BobCourse: Analyzing Social Media Data in PythonRelated Episode: How I Nearly Got Fired For Running An A/B Test with Vanessa Larco, Former Partner at New Enterprise AssociatesRewatch sessions from RADAR: Skills EditionNew to DataCamp?Learn on the go using the DataCamp mobile appEmpower your business with world-class data and AI skills with DataCamp for business
