This episode is unlike any I've done before! We're taking a journey into computational science and mathematics and how the sand cat has inspired a new algorithm that could improve artificial intelligence, civil engineering, scheduling, smart routing, supply chains, and even aerospace engineering.
My mind was blown when I read this research paper - and to be honest, it is an extraordinarily complex topic. But together we're gonna explore how the sand cat and the natural world around us is having an impact on some of the most cutting edge technology on our planet. We'll meet the sand cat, an enigmatic small cat native to the deserts of North Africa and the Middle East, and of course the big brain behind this algorithm, Amir Seyyedabbasi to help explain the maths, the science and algorithms that are already powering our future.
