Give Me 5: Season 3, Episode 5 is now live!
Peter Wang, Chief AI & Innovation Officer, Co-Founder at Anaconda, Inc., has a warning for open source communities: with bots and AI flooding the internet, the era of serendipitous online collaboration is closing, and we need to build human networks on purpose.
In this episode, Peter shares what connects his work across science, software, and AI, why he wants people to ask AI to help them reach the answer, and the advice he would give anyone starting out.
