Welcome! We at MLST are inspired by scientists and each week we have a hard-hitting discussion with the leading thinkers in the AI space. Street Talk is ridiculously technical and we believe strongly in diversity of thought in AI, covering all the main ideas in the field, avoiding hype where possible. MLST is run by Dr. Tim Scarfe and Dr. Keith Duggar, and with regular appearances from Dr. Yannic Kilcher.
