What are generalist agents and why they can change the AI game (Ep. 199)

That deep learning alone is not sufficient to solve artificial general intelligence, is more and more accepted statement.
Generalist agents have great properties that can overcome some of the limitations of single-task deep learning models.
Be aware, we are still far from AGI, though.
 
So what are generalist agents?

Bayesian Machine Learning with Ravin Kumar (Ep. 191)

This is one episode where passion for math, statistics and computers are merged. I have a very interesting conversation with Ravin,  data scientist at Google where he uses data to inform decisions.
He has previously worked at Sweetgreen, designing systems that would benefit team members and communities through sustainable and healthy food, and SpaceX, creating tools that would ultimately launch rocket ships.
All opinions in this episode are his own and none of the companies he has worked for are represented.
