Perhaps best known for hit songs like “Solsbury Hill” and “Sledgehammer”, Peter has long been an early adopter of new technologies in music. He was on the front edge of digital recording, download, and distribution tech, and he joined Stability AI in 2023 to run a competition for AI-generated animated music videos set to his music.

Peter shares his thoughts on the role of innovative technology like AI in music and the arts. He also talks to Rene about using tech to connect people and generate hope and compassion through projects like TheElders.org.

Before leading research at OpenAI, Mark Chen was a self-proclaimed “late-bloomer” to computer science. He pivoted from an initial career in finance to heading up OpenAI’s frontiers research, where he led the teams that created DALL-E, developed Codex, and incorporated visual perception into GPT-4.

Mark tells Rene about his roundabout path to AI research and about how he integrates research and product development to drive scientific progress at OpenAI.

When CEO Alex Kendall co-founded Wayve in 2017, he was simultaneously writing his PhD thesis at Cambridge University. From that point onwards he’s been in the driver’s seat, as Wayve pioneers a new way to create self-driving cars using end-to-end machine learning.

Alex tells Rene about Wayve’s embodied AI and about the challenges of growing a company from a garage in Cambridge to offices around the world with hundreds of employees, all while navigating a global pandemic.

To learn more about Wayve and their software strategy, keep an eye out for an upcoming conversation with VP of Engineering Silvius Rus on the Arm Viewpoints podcast.
