Building the future of AI Robotics: Kimberly Stover, SuperTech FT

In this episode, I sit down with Kimberly Stover, Director of Operations at SuperTech FT, to talk about what it really takes to build an AI and robotics nonprofit from the inside out. Kim shares how SuperTech FT is growing from a Bay Area org into a global mission, with groups already coming in from England and expansion plans across Europe. We get into the behind-the-scenes work most people never see, from running operations and taxes to writing proposals and building cohorts that bring AI education to people who'd never get exposed to it otherwise. We also talk about her mindset of jumping into things she doesn't know yet, why "there's always a next" is the reality of building something meaningful, and how SuperTech is combining its sister org IRAIR (Institute of Responsible AI Robotics) to scale the mission even further. If you care about AI, robotics, education, or nonprofits doing real work, this one's for you.

Cold-emailing billionaires at 18 : Sachin Syal, O'ChakDe

In this episode Satya talks with Sachin Syal, an 18 year old entrepreneur and podcaster from the Bay Area who has been making moves since he was a kid. They talk about how Sachin got into business at a young age, what inspired him to start his podcast The O'ChakDe Show, how he lands billionaires and top executives as guests through cold outreach, and his belief in the power of ask. Sachin also shares his thoughts on how AI is leveling the playing field for young entrepreneurs and gives real advice for teens who want to stop waiting and start building something meaningful.

He coined "AGI" 20 years ago: Peter Voss, Aigo.AI

Satya interviews Peter Voss, CEO and Chief Scientist of Aigo.ai, and one of the pioneers of Artificial General Intelligence (AGI). Peter shares his mission to create AI that learns, understands, and reasons like a human. With over two decades in the field, he explains the difference between today’s large language models and true cognitive AI, and why scaling data alone will never lead to real intelligence. He also talks about his journey as an entrepreneur, founding multiple AI companies, and how Aigo.ai is redefining how we think about intelligent systems. In this episode, listeners will gain insight into the evolution of AGI, the philosophy behind building conscious machines, and what the future of human-AI collaboration could look like.

Teaching machines to drill : Prof. Ronald Adomako

Satya interviews Ronald Adomako, a professor of Computer Science and Data Science at Monroe University with over 15 years of experience in programming, engineering, and applied data science. Ronald has taught a wide range of graduate and undergraduate courses including machine learning, artificial intelligence, data science, ethical hacking, database systems, and system design, while also creating a hands-on student tech lab to strengthen practical learning. Beyond teaching, he has worked in fintech as a software engineer focused on SQL performance, microservices, and web applications, and in the energy sector applying machine learning to drilling data to raise accuracy rates above 90 percent. He also served as a scientific information specialist, developing algorithms in high-performance computing environments to support advanced research. In this episode, Ronald shares his journey as an educator and researcher, the role of integrity and teamwork in long-term success, and his vision for how data science will shape the future of technology and energy.

Robotics for kids who can't afford labs : Dr. Albert Hu, SuperTech FT

Satya interviews Dr. Albert Hu, a professor, AI and robotics columnist, and global tech leader. Dr. Hu has pioneered the use of machine learning in semiconductor processes and leads SuperTech FT, a nonprofit dedicated to AI and robotics education. He also serves in advisory roles across international tech organizations and is a strong advocate for renewable energy. In this episode, he shares insights from his career in research, education, and leadership, and how he continues to shape the future of technology and STEM outreach.
