Introducing Transformations in AI: Why Foundation Models are the Future from Smart Talks with IBM.Follow the show: Smart Talks with IBMMajor breakthroughs in artificial intelligence research often reshape the design and utility of AI in both business and society. In this special rebroadcast episode of Smart Talks with IBM, Malcolm Gladwell and Jacob Goldstein explore the conceptual underpinnings of modern AI with Dr. David Cox, VP of AI Models at IBM Research. They talk foundation models, self-supervised machine learning, and the practical applications of AI and data platforms like watsonx in business and technology. When we first aired this episode last year, the concept of foundation models was just beginning to capture our attention. Since then, this technology has evolved and redefined the boundaries of what's possible. Businesses are becoming more savvy about selecting the right models and understanding how they can drive revenue and efficiency. This is a paid advertisement from IBM.

This is one of our most requested cases. We've been nervous to do it because it's really brutal, but it's a shocking story that deserves to be told. In 1994, 27-year-old Alison Botha was returning home when a man wielding a knife kidnapped her. She didn't know at the time, but the man was Frans Du Toit and he was going to pick up his satanic counterpart, Theuns Kruger. These two monsters go on to brutally attack Alison & leave her for dead. When they're finally caught, they're shocked when they hear the charges.

Between 2001 - 2008, a series of murders & attacks on young women horrified Los Angeles, California. The crimes were meticulously planned but ultimately he messes with the wrong girl and after a huge struggle, leaves DNA behind. That DNA links him to a 1993 cold case that should've landed him in jail before he could kill again. When he finally goes to trial, the prosecutor has a very surprising star witness. Stick around to the end because there are some new (and damning) allegations. This is the story of Tricia Pacaccio, Ashley Ellerin, Maria Bruno, and Michelle Murphy.
