The Deep View: Conversations

In this episode of The Deep View Conversations, we sit down with Patrick Leung, CTO of Faro Health — a startup using artificial intelligence to streamline and reimagine clinical trials. What began as a push to speed up drug development turned into something bigger: a mission to reduce suffering, elevate consciousness, and reshape how we think about AI’s role in health and society.Patrick walks us through the challenges of clinical trial design, the limits of large language models, and how thoughtful AI implementation could unlock faster, safer, and more inclusive access to medicine.We also go beyond tech to explore deep questions: Is AI truly intelligent? How do we balance speed and safety? And are we building tools — or something closer to gods?

In this episode of The Deep View Conversations, we sit down with Russ d'Sa, founder and CEO of LiveKit — the open-source infrastructure powering voice mode for OpenAI, Character.AI, and a fast-emerging voice-first internet.Russ walks us through how a pandemic side project evolved into the nervous system for the next generation of AI-powered voice applications. But this episode goes far beyond infrastructure. We dive into big, human questions: What does it mean to interact naturally with AI? Are we moving back toward voice as the dominant interface? How will AI reshape work, leisure, and even our sense of identity?From the democratization of high-tech tools to the societal shifts driven by intelligent systems, this is a wide-ranging and deeply thoughtful conversation on what comes next in the age of synthetic intelligence.

Boost your CRM with Salesforce – tdv.co/sfIn this episode of The Deep View Conversations, we explore the world of machine translation and artificial intelligence with Olga Beregovaya — Smartling’s VP of Machine Translation and Artificial Intelligence. Olga takes us through the evolution of machine translation, from rule-based systems to statistical models to today’s neural networks and large language models.She sheds light on how translation has shifted from being a purely linguistic endeavor to one that now sits at the intersection of data science, AI, and human creativity. We dive into hallucinations, under-resourced languages, the rise of synthetic data, and what it truly means to maintain quality in a multilingual world. If you've ever wondered what makes AI translation tick — and where it's going — this is the episode for you.Get The Deep View — your daily source for in-depth, fact-based reporting on artificial intelligence — in your inbox every morning.

In this episode of The Deep View Conversations, we dive into the chaotic world of social media, misinformation, and the growing need for scientific credibility with Brinleigh Murphy Reuter — founder of the Harvard-incubated nonprofit, Science to People. Brinleigh unpacks why it’s become so hard to find accurate health and science information online, and how her organization is using generative AI to fix the broken flow of facts between researchers, influencers, and everyday users.We explore everything from the overwhelming noise of algorithm-driven content and the dangers of viral misinformation, to how AI can empower creators with reliable, vetted science.
