Gurdeep Pall is a monumental builder whose constant curiosity, occasional audacity, and lifelong penchant for asking “what if” and “why?” positioned him as one of the key creators of and contributors to the most foundational Internet and communications technologies of the Third Industrial Revolution. Now in his 32nd year at Microsoft, Gurdeep has turned his attention to the scalable and ethical development of high-utility Autonomous Systems.HIs conversation with Jesse touches on the sources of Gurdeep's fascination with technology, the inventive culture of Microsoft during the internet revolution, Gurdeep's role in inventing technologies central to today's digital economy like TCP/IP, VPN, and cloud-based communications, his personal reflections on working directly with Bill Gates, and a philosophy for moving from Comprehension to Creation that Gurdeep has applied in his stewardship of technologies and teams. The conversation closes on a discussion of the enormous potential of Gurdeep’s present-day work in AI.Throughout, you’ll learn how Gurdeep brought together a lifelong love for learning, a disciplined technical expertise, and a deep interpersonal empathy to not only invent practical technologies - but to reimagine and help advance our world in the process. Guest BioGurdeep Singh Pall is the Corporate Vice President for Business AI at Microsoft and member of Technology &amp; Research Leadership Team. He is an intrepreneur, a product thinker, and foremost a passionate technologist.Gurdeep’s team of research scientists, engineers and business leaders is bringing digital transformation to business tasks through the power of AI, including a recent effort to train autonomous systems with reinforcement learning efficiently. Gurdeep is also responsible for Microsoft Garage and Hackathon, a hyper-scale, grassroots innovation program.Teammates had the following to say about Gurdeep:“A visionary builder of great products and businesses.” -Amey Parandekar“I was struck by his authenticity.” -Moz Thomas“He never let hierarchy get in the way of engaging with us personally.” -Kavita Kamani“Gurdeep reaffirms for me that the role of a leader is to inspire.” -Ross SmithHelpful LinksAutonomous Systems: Gurdeep’s current world at Microsoft: https://innovation.microsoft.com/en-us/autonomous-systemsGurdeep on the future of autonomy on the Microsoft Blog:https://blogs.microsoft.com/ai-for-business/autonomous-systems-vision/A perspective on Gurdeep’s life published by The Global Sikh Trail:https://theglobalsikhtrail.com/story-english/gurdeep-singh-pall/Gurdeep on LinkedIn:https://www.linkedin.com/in/gurdeep-pall-0aa639bb/

The Spirit of Possibility: Gurdeep Pall

Today we’re joined by Gurdeep Pall, Corporate Vice President at Microsoft. Gurdeep, who we had the pleasure of speaking with on his 31st anniversary at the company, has had a hand in creating quite a few influential projects, including Skype for business (and Teams) and being apart of the first team that shipped wifi as a part of a general-purpose operating system. In our conversation with Gurdeep, we discuss Microsoft’s acquisition of Bonsai and how they fit in the toolchain for creating brains for autonomous systems with “machine teaching,” and other practical applications of machine teaching in autonomous systems. We also explore the challenges of simulation, and how they’ve evolved to make the problems that the physical world brings more tenable. Finally, Gurdeep shares concrete use cases for autonomous systems, and how to get the best ROI on those investments, and of course, what’s next in the very broad space of autonomous systems. The complete show notes for this episode can be found at twimlai.com/go/450.

The Future of Autonomous Systems with Gurdeep Pall - #450

Ashish Kapoor

There’s a lot of excitement around self-driving cars, delivery drones, and other intelligent, autonomous systems, but before they can be deployed at scale, they need to be both reliable and safe. That’s why Gurdeep Pall, CVP of Business AI at Microsoft, and Dr. Ashish Kapoor, who leads research in Aerial Informatics and Robotics, are using a simulated environment called AirSim to reduce the time, cost and risk of the testing necessary to get autonomous agents ready for the open world. Today, Gurdeep and Ashish discuss life at the intersection of machine learning, simulation and autonomous systems, and talk about the challenges we face as we transition from a world of automation to a world of autonomy. They also tell us about Game of Drones, an exciting new drone racing competition where the goal is to imbue flying robots with human-level perception and decision making skills… on the fly. https://www.microsoft.com/research
