Lindsay CottonHOST
And if you think, if you have a, your own view on does explain about explainability matter more than accuracy or, um, maybe an easier way to start is how do we responsibly deploy the systems that are probabilistic by nature in an environment that we know is demanding precision.

Scott PenberthyGUEST
So in general, how do you take a probabilistic decision engine and bring it in? Right.

Scott PenberthyGUEST
And what I see it comes down to, Lindsay, is like we work with things we don't understand every single day and make life or death decisions, health and wealth decisions, and liberty decisions every day.

Scott PenberthyGUEST
I think what I'm seeing for the first time is that, um, we're actually programming the human body, right? And to me, and, and what, what I find so interesting, Lindsay, is that, you know, I, I, I right now in my, uh, my role at Google, I work a lot with video models, and what's astonishing is that the technique behind the video models, it's learning physics.

Scott PenberthyGUEST
P- and Navier-Stokes equations are, like, complex equations of how do you get a space- SpaceX ship to Mars? Like, all the equations for the gases and the rockets, that's all called Navier-Stokes.

It's completely different when it's detection of cancer in a 38-year-old woman with four kids, right?
