We all know that Python is a major player in the application of machine learning and AI.

This often involves grabbing Karras or TensorFlow and applying it to a problem.

But what about AI research?

When you're actually trying to create something that has yet to be created,

how do researchers use Python here?

Today you'll meet Alex Levin, a Python developer and research scientists at Vicarious,

where they are trying to develop artificial general intelligence for robots.

This is Talk Python to Me, episode 124 recorded May 31st, 2017.

I'm a developer in many senses of the word because I make these applications, but I also use these verbs to make this music.

In both cases, it's about design patterns.

Anyone can get the job done.

I have many interests.

Sometimes you can flage. Welcome to Talk Python to Me, a weekly podcast on Python, the language, the libraries, the ecosystem, and the personalities.

This is your host, Michael Kennedy. Follow me on Twitter where I'm at M. Kennedy. Keep up with the show and listen to past episodes at TalkPython.fm.

And follow the show on

Twitter via at talk python. This episode is brought to you by Linode and Talk Python training.

Be sure to check out what the offers are for both of these segments. It really helps support

the show. Alex, welcome to Talk Python. Hi, thanks for having me. Yeah, I'm pretty excited to talk about

AI, researching AI and all the stuff that you guys are up to. It's something we haven't really

touched that much on on the show, and it's both interesting at a low-level technical level,
