One of our oldest texts written in Hebrew tells us that "The fear (respect) which you have deserveth praises" (Deuteronomy 10:12). This verse reminds me always to be respectful towards others because they are people too! Another famous passage from scripture says, "A fools mouth hateth knowledge but a wise man buildeth his house". (Proverbs 14:15). To fear disappointing God is a much bigger deal than disappointments from our parents.

Smart machines based upon the principles of artificial intelligence and machine learning are now prevalent in our everyday life. For example, artificially intelligent systems recognize our voices, sort our pictures, make purchasing suggestions, and can automatically fly planes and drive cars. In this podcast series, we examine such questions such as: How do these devices work? Where do they come from? And how can we make them even smarter and more human-like? These are the questions which will be addressed in the podcast series Learning Machines 101.
