In the latest episode of the Approximately Correct podcast, Amii Fellow and Canada CIFAR AI Chair Martha White discusses the real-world application of reinforcement learning and her work in using it to make water treatment more effective. White co-founded RL Core Technologies along with Adam White and Alden Christianson. The startup explores how reinforcement learning is being used to increase efficiency at a water treatment plant in Drayton Valley.

“In any industry, there are always innovators who always want to see the things they can do,” she told hosts Alona Fyshe and Scott Lilwall.

White also discusses her experience of navigating the world of AI startups and reflects on some of the lessons she’s learned for anyone wanting to use artificial intelligence in their business.

Approximately Correct: An AI Podcast from Amii is hosted by Alona Fyshe and Scott Lilwall. It is produced by Lynda Vang, with video production by Chris Onciul.
