Our latest episode of "The ONE'S CHANGING The WORLD" tackles a truth we can't ignore- #climatechange. Spoke with Prof. Chetan Singh Solanki at Indian Institute of Technology, Bombay, founder Energy Swaraj Yatra also known as "India's Solar Man" his message is both stark and inspiring. The data is clear- a scorching future awaits with global warming exceeding the 1.5°C target, IPCC report confirms that even if countries meet their Paris Agreement commitments, the world is still on track for at least 2.5°C of warming by 2100. Prof. Solanki, on his 11-year solar bus yatra, isn't sugarcoating the situation. He challenges our unsustainable consumption driven by "Moh aur Maya" (greed and illusion). We are rapidly running out of time to avoid the worst impacts of climate change. Incremental changes are not enough - we need a complete transformation of our energy systems, food production, transportation and consumption patterns, every fraction of a degree matters. Lets get this right, Earth Does Not Need to be Saved, Earth has and will endure long after we are gone, humanity's future hangs in the balance because of our own doing. Prof. Solanki's message isn't one of despair, but a call to action. Can we break free from this cycle of consumption?

Spoke with Gunnar Newquist Ph.D. where we explored the fascinating world of brain-inspired artificial intelligence. From the potential of #largelanguagemodels to the pathways to artificial general intelligence #AGI, our conversation covered a wide range of intriguing topics. Newquist shared insights from his book "Artificial General Intelligence," shedding light on the emergent capabilities of modern AI and the role of human brain connectomics in advancing AGI research. We also tackled crucial issues like #AI safety, the impact on employment, and the militarization of AI technology. Newquist discussed the challenges and opportunities in building emotion-capable AGI and creating meaningful lives in the age of advanced AI. His vision for the future, where AGI can help solve humanity's biggest problems. The conversation explores the intersection of #neuroscience and #artificialintelligence.

#Climatechange, labeled a "Code Red for Humanity" by the United Nations, is Earth's most pressing threat. With scientists warning that we're just four years from exceeding critical temperature thresholds, the urgency is undeniable. Our current habits of unchecked consumption, deforestation, and plastic pollution are accelerating the crisis. But what if there's a path forward? Dr. Babu Padmanabhan, CEO of STEER World, is tackling plastic waste head-on with a revolutionary product: UNWOOD, a sustainable wood alternative made from recycled plastic. Will UNWOOD be the sole solution? Time will tell. However, Dr. Padmanabhan embodies the spirit we need, by shifting from being part of the problem to becoming the solution, we can cultivate hope. Imagine humanity not just surviving on Earth, but thriving and venturing into the cosmos! This fight requires a collective effort. We need more innovative entrepreneurs like Dr. Padmanabhan, alongside everyday people, to steer us towards a future that heals, not destroys, our planet. Click for the full episode

Interviewing Dr. Fred Jordan, Co-CEO of FinalSpark, a Swiss startup that launched its Neuroplatform, offering remote access to a network of 16 human brain organoids. This groundbreaking service claims to be the first of its kind, providing access to biological neurons in vitro (outside a living organism). FinalSpark claims their bioprocessors utilize one million times less energy compared to traditional digital processors used in #AI #llms. This has the potential to revolutionize the field of artificial intelligence by significantly reducing its environmental impact.
