The theme of the Artificiality Summit 2026 is Unknowing. We start with five speakers—David Wolpert, Caleb Scharf, Wakanyi Macharia-Hoffman, Gašper Beguš, and Nina Beguš—whose work converges on a single finding: the uncertainty surrounding AI is permanent, not a phase.
In this episode, we have a conversation with Arash Rahnama, Head of Applied AI Research at Modzy (@arashrahnamaphd, @getmodzy, www.modzy.com).
We talk about techniques for providing explainability in AI, how to pair explainability with fairness to reduce bias, how AI goes wrong and how diverse teams can provide important prior knowledge to AI systems and help govern them in the wild.
