Kevin Williams, founder and CEO of Ascend AI Labs, explores how AI has evolved from a future possibility into a powerful opportunity and how organizations are learning to harness it to work smarter, move faster, and stay competitive in a rapidly changing world.

University of Utah chemist Matthew Sigman explains how machine learning is transforming drug discovery. By predicting how molecules form, especially their critical “handedness,” new tools can dramatically cut the time, cost, and trial-and-error required to develop life-saving medicines.

Simon Rogers of Google discusses his book, “What We Ask Google,” and what two decades of search data reveal about human curiosity, behavior and connection.

Astrophysicist and journalist Maria Luísa Buzzo discusses her Scientific American article on unusual galaxies that appear to lack dark matter, challenging how scientists understand galaxy formation.

Mathematician Richard Elwes discusses his book, “Huge Numbers,” and how the pursuit of ever-larger numbers has shaped math, science and human thought.

Science journalist Lee Billings of Scientific American discusses Artemis II and what it means for the future of human space exploration.
