New Episode of the LA PIPA Studios Podcast: AI, Creativity, and Reinforcement Learning with Pablo Samuel Castro At LA PIPA Studios, our team is passionate about exploring the intersection of artificial intelligence, creativity, and technology. In this new episode of Data Stand-Up!, Jesús sits down with Pablo Samuel Castro, Research Software Developer at Google, to discuss his groundbreaking work in reinforcement learning, AI-driven creativity, and machine learning applications in music. About Pablo Samuel Castro Pablo is currently a Research Software Developer at Google Brain in Montreal, where he focuses primarily on reinforcement learning and machine learning applications in music and creativity. His work explores how AI can enhance human expression, pushing the boundaries of what’s possible in generative music, interactive AI models, and automated decision-making systems. Before his current role, Pablo worked in Google Ads and Google Chrome, where he developed and applied large-scale machine learning solutions to tackle complex, real-world problems. His work in these teams contributed to the advancement of AI-driven optimization techniques, improving efficiency, user experience, and automation across Google’s ecosystem. Specialties & Expertise Pablo’s expertise spans across computer programming, artificial intelligence, and machine learning, with a deep focus on:
  • Reinforcement Learning – Training AI models to make sequential decisions in dynamic environments.
  • Machine Learning for Creativity & Music – Exploring how AI can be used to enhance composition, improvisation, and musical experimentation.
  • Markov Decision Processes (MDPs) – Developing models for decision-making in fully and partially observable environments.
  • Linear Programming & Optimization – Applying mathematical techniques to solve complex decision-making problems efficiently.
Bridging AI, Creativity, and Real-World Applications Pablo’s work is not just about advancing AI; it’s about bringing machine learning into creative spaces. His research aims to empower artists, musicians, and technologists to harness the potential of AI-driven creativity, unlocking new possibilities in composition, sound design, and live performance. In His Own Words: “AI is more than just automation—it’s a tool for exploration, experimentation, and artistic collaboration. My goal is to push the boundaries of reinforcement learning and machine learning in ways that are both technically rigorous and creatively inspiring.” Join us for an inspiring conversation about the future of AI, music, and machine learning, and how reinforcement learning is shaping the next wave of intelligent systems. 🎧 Listen now and explore the future of AI-powered creativity!

Are You A Charlotte?

Are You A Charlotte?

In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
