The AI Podcast

From improving energy efficiency to helping address climate challenges, AI and accelerated computing are becoming key tools in the push for sustainability. In this episode of NVIDIA’s AI Podcast, Joshua Parker, senior director of corporate sustainability, shared his perspective on how these technologies are contributing to a more sustainable future. https://blogs.nvidia.com/blog/ai-energy-efficiency/

Companies in the US spend $15bn annually on talent acquisition. The most important metric in recruitment advertising is the conversion from the paid click on the job platform to the application the employer receives. Industry-wide, apply conversion is just 5%. Redirection of the candidate from the job platform to the company site is the biggest cause of abandonment; this step has a 70% bounce rate. In this episode of NVIDIA’s AI Podcast, host Noah Kravitz speaks with Mikhil Raja, Cofounder and CEO of SonicJobs, about how they have built AI Agents to enable candidates to complete applications directly on job platforms, without redirection, boosting completion rates to 26% from 5%. Raja delves deep into SonicJobs’ cutting-edge technology, which merges traditional AI with large language models (LLMs) to understand and interact with job application web flows. He also emphasizes the importance of fine-tuning foundational models to achieve more impactful and scalable innovations. SonicJobs is a member of the NVIDIA Inception program for startups.

Edward Mehr works where AI meets the anvil. The company he cofounded, Machina Labs, blends the latest advancements in robotics and AI to form metal into countless shapes for use in defense, aerospace, and more. The company’s applications accelerate design and innovation, enabling rapid iteration and production in days instead of the months required by conventional processes. NVIDIA AI Podcast host Noah Kravitz speaks with Mehr, CEO of Machina Labs, on how the company uses AI to develop the first-ever robotic blacksmith. Its Robotic Craftsman platform integrates seven-axis robots that can shape, scan, trim and drill a wide range of materials — all capabilities made possible through AI.

Snowflake is using AI to help enterprises transform data into insights and applications. In this episode of NVIDIA’s AI Podcast, host Noah Kravitz and Baris Gultekin, head of AI at Snowflake, discuss how the company’s AI Data Cloud platform enables customers to access and manage data at scale. By separating the storage of data from compute, Snowflake has allowed organizations across the world to connect via cloud technology and work on a unified platform — eliminating data silos and streamlining collaborative workflows.
