In this episode of MIT CSAIL Alliances, host Kara Miller sits down with Professor Manya Ghobadi, a researcher and entrepreneur bridging the gap between academia and industry. Ghobadi, who has worked at Microsoft Research, Google, and now leads her own startup Systalyze, explores why so many companies struggle to efficiently deploy AI — and how her team is creating the “AI doctor” enterprises didn’t know they needed.
From hospitals sitting on mountains of private data to banks seeking smarter fraud detection, Ghobadi explains how better infrastructure and smarter tools can finally unlock AI’s full potential. Tune in for an inside look at how innovation moves from lab to launchpad — and what it takes to make AI work in the real world.
Topics Include:
00:07 - Origins of Systalze
01:40 - AI systems are difficult to build
02:53 - Systalyze is like an AI doctor
03:38 - How AI can transform the health care industry
04:41 - When companies unlock their AI potential
05:13 - Academia as an enterprenuer

Driving Behavior by Design: MIT CSAIL Professor Sam Madden on the Science of Safer Roads with AI
Can your phone make you a safer driver? Or is it part of the problem?
MIT CSAIL Professor Sam Madden shares the origin story of Cambridge Mobile Telematics, a CSAIL spinout using smartphones and AI to prevent car crashes and save lives. In this episode, Professor Madden joins host Kara Miller to explore how accelerometers, algorithms, and well-timed incentives are transforming how we understand and improve driver behavior.
Professor Madden reflects on surprising data trends, like why crash rates haven’t fallen despite better car tech, and how the ubiquitous smartphone became a key tool for reducing risk on the road. He also dives into how generative AI is reshaping software development, what it means for education and programming skills, and why trust and privacy remain top concerns when deploying AI across sensitive industries.
Covering distracted driving, autonomous vehicles, behavioral nudges, and business infrastructure, Professor Madden reveals what’s working and where the road ahead leads.
Topics include:
The history of Cambridge Mobile Telematics
The realities of traffic accidents
How your phone can track your driving safety
Turning your data into a narrative
The corrosive effects of phones
