Neil deGrasse Tyson's StarTalk Podcast - February 28, 2026
"How did we go from digital computers to AI seemingly everywhere? Neil deGrasse Tyson, Chuck Nice, & Gary O’Reilly dive into the mechanics of thinking, how AI got its start, and what deep learning really means with cognitive and computer scientist, Nobel Laureate, and one of the architects of AI, Geoffrey Hinton.

"Hinton explains the fundamental shift from logic-based rule programming to the biological approach: building systems that learn the way a brain does. Learn about the history of computer science that led to the breakthroughs we have today. We break down the structure of artificial neural networks and the meaning of AI buzzwords like “deep learning” really mean. You’ll learn about the layering of data processing and how the first layer of neurons might detect a simple edge, the second a beak, and the third a bird’s head."

Apologies for going overboard with the mentions and hashtags, but this was one deep podcast and there were a lot of topics covered that are relevant to AI:

UC Riverside: A gel for wounds that won’t heal. “As aging populations and rising diabetes rates drive an increase in chronic wounds, more patients face the risk of amputations. UC Riverside researchers have developed an oxygen-delivering gel capable of healing injuries that might otherwise progress to limb loss.”

This is the 1st I’m hearing of this.

The Lancet: Endoscopist deskilling risk after exposure to artificial intelligence in colonoscopy: a multicentre, observational study

"...Continuous exposure to AI might reduce the ADR of standard non-AI assisted colonoscopy, suggesting a negative effect on endoscopist behaviour...."

My area is saturated 24/7 w noise of racing motorcycles, cars modified to be noisier - local, state gov't will do nothing. Can #noisecameras #reduce ‘potentially fatal’ #soundpollution? Every1 knows NYC is loud & politicians have waged long losing war against noise. Now they have new weapon: noise cameras. Cameras which are paired with a #soundmeter to detect noise of at least 85 #decibels from source 50ft. #heathcare #pedestrians #environment #airpollution #streetracing https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2023/oct/04/new-york-noise-cameras
