CXOTalk: Leadership, AI, and the Digital Economy

Artificial intelligence is rapidly transforming business, technology, and society. On this episode of CXO Talk, Dr. Terrence Sejnowski, a renowned computational neuroscientist, deep learning pioneer, and author of "ChatGPT and the Future of AI," discusses the implications of this technological revolution. He explores how AI is evolving, drawing parallels with the human brain, and explains why a robust data strategy is crucial for successful AI implementation. Dr. Sejnowski holds the Francis Crick Chair at the Salk Institute for Biological Studies and is a Distinguished Professor at UC San Diego.

Dr. Sejnowski explains the importance of lifelong learning for employees and emphasizes AI's role in augmenting, not replacing, human capabilities. He also addresses critical topics such as explainability in AI decision-making, ethical considerations, and the potential impact of AI on the future of work. This discussion offers practical guidance for business and technology leaders navigating the complexities of AI integration and its implications for their organizations.

Episode Participants

Terrence J. Sejnowski is Francis Crick Chair at The Salk Institute for Biological Studies and Distinguished Professor at the University of California at San Diego. He has published over 500 scientific papers and 12 books, including ChatGPT and The Future of AI: The Deep Language Learning Revolution. He was instrumental in shaping the BRAIN Initiative that was announced by the White House in 2013, and he received the prestigious Gruber Prize in Neuroscience in 2022 and the Brain Prize in 2024. Sejnowski was also a pioneer in developing learning algorithms for neural networks in the 1980s, inventing the Boltzmann machine with Geoffrey Hinton; this was the first learning algorithm for multilayer neural networks and laid the foundation for deep learning. He is the President of the Neural Information Processing Systems (NeurIPS) Foundation, which organizes the largest AI conference, and he is a leader in the recent convergence between neuroscience and AI.
