In this episode, I speak with Dr Yaniv Altshuler, 20+ year AI research veteran who has been serving as a Research Fellow at MIT Media Lab, has written 3 books on artificial intelligence, authored 70+ scientific papers, and holds 14 patents. We discuss his pioneering research in the field of swarm algorithms, their wide application to fields like defense and finance, and his newest project of applying his research to cow sheds with Metha.ai where he and his partner Professor Alex "Sandy" Pentland are creating personalized food supplements for cows which increases meat and milk yields while substantially reducing methane emissions.
