FI&B Ep 6: Been there, done that! | AI, Research and Diversity with Prof. Anima Anandkumar

It's great to be back! (The video of this episode is out on Youtube - (https://youtu.be/tTRTbVxKuUM). Today's episode is a very special one and brings down the curtains on our series 'From Insti and Beyond', which we ran in collaboration with the Alumni Relations Team of IIT Madras. Our guest today is Prof. Anima Anandkumar, a Bren Professor at Caltech and the Director of ML Research at NVIDIA. Prof. Anima has acquired near-legendary status in both corporate research and academia and in this episode she talks about her life journey so far. We also talk to her about why she chose research as her path, about the AI revolution today and much more. Prof. Anima is also very vocal about furthering the cause of women in STEM and we talk to her about diversity (or lack thereof) in technical fields, the effect of patriarchy on Indian and American culture, and what we can do to create a better future. An episode peppered with fascinating anecdotes and a lot of sound life advice.
