  • Cisco Optics Podcast Ep64: Building the Standards Behind Tomorrow’s AI Networks - John Calvin, Part 1 of 8

    Cisco Optics Podcast Ep64: Building the Standards Behind Tomorrow’s AI Networks - John Calvin, Part 1 of 8
    Aug 26 2026
    In the pluggable optics industry every next generation is led by countless presentations and proposals at standards bodies meetings along with lots of lab development and testing behind the scenes. Right now the industry has its sights set on 3.2 terabit transceivers with 400 Gb per electrical lane. All those meetings and all that testing are happening as we speak. Today I am joined by John Calvin, Strategic Planner and Datacom Technology Lead at Keysight. John has been bridging the measurement science gaps of emerging telecom and datacom development efforts for 20 years. He has chaired multiple physical layer interoperability working groups and is currently serving as a contributing member to IEEE 802.3, OIF-CEI, InfiniBand, and PCIe development efforts. John holds a BSEE from Washington State University, and his graduate level studies are in signal processing from Stanford University. In Episode 64 we begin a new conversation with John. We get into his path into Ethernet, how standards are built, and why they matter to AI networks. John has very generously made himself available for your follow-up questions. You can find him at IEEE 802.3 technical forums or you can email him at john.calvin@keysight.com. Please follow the Cisco Podcast Network on Spotify or Apple Podcasts! Better yet, leave a review on Apple podcasts. Remember you're listening to the Cisco Optics Podcast, which is part of the Cisco Podcast Network where you can find other great Cisco podcasts too.

  • AI Insights - Ep.8: The AI Ergonomics Framework for Trustworthy LLMs

    AI Insights - Ep.8: The AI Ergonomics Framework for Trustworthy LLMs
    Aug 28 2026
    In this episode of The Cisco AI Insights Podcast, hosts Rafael Herrera and Sónia Marques are joined by Cisco’s Technical Leader in Machine Learning Engineering, Dr. Catarina Carvalho, to explore her pioneering concept of "AI Ergonomics," which frames human engagement as a fundamental design principle for AI development rather than a post-development chore. The conversation examines the complexities of human-in-the-loop validation, highlighting how moving beyond simple binary feedback like "thumbs up" or "thumbs down" is essential for mitigating bias and ensuring AI systems align with practical human needs and well-being. Dr. Carvalho explains how incorporating cognitive interviews and social motivation can improve data quality, helping developers bridge the gap between model accuracy and user trust in our increasingly non-deterministic generative AI landscape. Thank you to Dr. Catarina Carvalho for sharing her research and insights on the future of collaborative AI design.
