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

The Promise and Peril of Computer Chips with Tufts Professor Chris Miller
Chris Miller, Tufts Professor and author, explains how semiconductors—those tiny chips inside your phone, car, and coffee maker—have become the most critical technology in the world. Today’s global economy, military power, and AI breakthroughs all hinge on who makes the chips and where.
In this episode, Dr. Miller explores how the chip industry evolved from independent manufacturing giants to specialized global supply chains and why that’s both a strength and a vulnerability. He breaks down the growing competition between the U.S. and China, the geopolitical risk of relying on Taiwan, and why the future of AI depends not just on better software but on smarter, faster hardware.
💡 Topics Covered:
Why semiconductors are the backbone of modern technology
The shift from integrated chip companies to design vs. manufacturing specialization
How legacy companies like Intel lost ground and what it means for the U.S.
The U.S./China tech rivalry and supply chain vulnerabilities
AI’s explosive growth and the chip race driving it
The surprising role of immigration in America’s tech dominance
Why even automakers and retailers are becoming chip-aware
