Carnegie Mellon University's School of Computer Science has launched a new podcast, "Does Compute," which explores how computer science is building useful technology that works in the real world. The field of computer science has fueled innovations over the past decades and will drive future breakthroughs, powering everyday life from smart appliances to addressing climate change and expanding access to education.
The podcast delves into the latest innovations in computer science and discusses their real-world impact. Season 1 features 10 episodes with experts, alumni, and students sharing topics such as how smartphone data is improving healthcare, computational tools involved in searching for new medicines, opportunities and challenges of artificial intelligence, technology's environmental impact, and the future of computer science education.
In the first three episodes, Zico Kolter, director of CMU's Machine Learning Department, professors Maarten Sap and Hoda Heidari, and host Steph Stricklen discuss what AI is and isn't. Additionally, CMU professor Mayank Goel and Traci Kennedy from the University of Pittsburgh's Department of Psychiatry share how accessible data can help healthcare providers better diagnose and treat patients.
