From Code to Crops: Roots co-founder Abhi's Cutting-Edge Use of AI in Agriculture

Friday, October 11, 2024 • Duration 01:04:30

One of the most exciting conversations I have had all year. Abhi, co-founder and CEO of roots is is a software engineer turned farmer who is really pushing LLMs to the edge of their abilities.

In this interview, we discover how he has been using Google Gemini’s large context windows to feed it thousands of agriculture science papers and discover insights relevant for his agriculture startup Living Roots. His insights have already generated 30% yield increases for smallhold farmers in the first season, at very limited cost!

At roots, Abhi and the team are even going so far as to combine Reinforcement Learning with LLMs reasoning abilities to predict the outcome of agricultural interventions.

During this interview, I really got to think that every research lab on the planet should have the pipeline that Abhi has built. Please watch for a really insightful and fun conversation

02 Why 85% of biomedical research is wasted with Paul Glasziou

Episode 2

Friday, January 12, 2018 • Duration 36:01

Prof Paul Glasziou is a practitioner and widely published clinical research expert. He explains how we waste billions of dollars on biomedical research.

Over 50% of all health research does not get published at all. From the published research, 50% is not usable in practice because things are missing. And from the 25% which is left, half contains design flaws. Hence, over 87.5% (which they rounded down to 85%) of health research is avoidably wasted according to Glasziou. We explore how this waste happens and what can be done about it.
