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 â and how her team is creating the âAI doctorâ enterprises didnât 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 AIâs full potential. Tune in for an inside look at how innovation moves from lab to launchpad â 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

How AI Can Help Save the Natural World, with MIT CSAIL Assistant Professor Sara Beery
Finches, zebras, Darwin... and AI? đ§ đ
Two centuries after Darwin explored the GalĂĄpagos, artificial intelligence is transforming how we study and protect the natural world, rapidly expanding whatâs possible in biodiversity and ecology research. In this episode, MIT CSAIL Assistant Professor Sara Beery explains how AI is unlocking new possibilities in conservation, from identifying endangered species to analyzing ecosystem health at scale. AI can help biologists collect, process, and interpret enormous volumes of data, unlocking patterns and offering insights that were simply not possible without modern technology.
Beery shares her journey, from tagging snow leopards in college to leading global research at the intersection of computer vision and ecology. But she sounds a note of caution: AI has no values of its own and must be paired with human values to tackle the complex tradeoffs behind biodiversity decisions. As these tools become more powerful, itâs up to us to decide how theyâre used, and what (or who) we prioritize.
đ§ Topics include:
Using AI to analyze millions of wildlife images
Why computer vision is revolutionizing species identification
The ethical dilemmas behind conservation decisions
How researchers are using AI to inform policy and protect ecosystems
