Each will share their journeys & reflect on ideation, key learnings, their funding experiences, building high-performance teams, establishing a company culture & more. Trevor Martin '11, Co-Founder & CEO, Mammoth Biosciences; designing a CRISPR-based methodology for molecular diagnostics & which raised a Series D $195mm round (at a unicorn valuation) in late 2021.

Welcome to episode 222 of the AI in Action podcast, the show where we break down the hype and explore the impact that Data Science, Machine Learning and Artificial Intelligence are making on our everyday lives. Powered by Alldus International, our goal is to share with you the insights of technologists and data science enthusiasts to showcase the excellent work that is being done within AI in the United States and Europe. Today's guest is Rameez Tase, Co-Founder & CEO at Antenna in New York. Antenna is an early-stage data analytics startup that is shaking up the way subscription businesses in various industries have access to insightful metrics to make strategic business decisions in today's hyper-competitive environment. They help define the metrics that matter, benchmark success standards vs. the competition, and illuminate the strategies required to build winning direct-to-consumer subscription businesses.

The current issues of the lending industry can be solved through technology and digitalizing the operations as much as possible. A thorough research and analyses on this matter has led Rishabh Goel to the idea of launching Credgenics, a technological solution to digitize a largely manual collections workflow. Rishabh was soon joined by Anand and Mayank, who are currently the CTO and COO of Credgenics respectively. Analytics Insight has engaged in an exclusive interview with Rishabh to discuss about his vision of creating a technology-based solution for the lending industry. After graduating from IIT Delhi, I worked first with Deutsche Bank and then with Blackrock, where I understood the nuances of the lending industry and observed the problems with the current collections practices.

The past five years have seen robots move from a developing technology in a number of sectors to an indispensable tool supporting operations across a vast range of enterprises. Logistics, manufacturing, materials handling, inspection, healthcare... the list of sectors that have "gone robotic" in short order is long indeed, and with industries like construction and delivery reaching a tipping point, there can be no denying we're in the midst of a robotic renaissance. An executive guide to the technology and market drivers behind the $135 billion robotics market. Automation technologies are maturing, developers are merging and standardizing engineering approaches, and technologies like AI and machine vision are intersecting to unlock a new wave of capability and efficiency. We surveyed some of the most respected and innovation-minded executives shaping the world of automation on what they expect in 2022 and beyond.

AI systems are becoming increasingly popular and central in many industries. They decide who might get a loan from the bank, whether an individual should be convicted, and we may even entrust them with our lives when using systems such as autonomous vehicles in the near future. Thus, there is a growing need for mechanisms to harness and control these systems so that we may ensure that they behave as desired. One important issue that has been gaining popularity in the last few years is fairness. While usually ML models are evaluated based on metrics such as accuracy, the idea of fairness is that we must ensure that our models are unbiased with regard to attributes such as gender, race and other selected attributes.

Formerly Co-Founder & CEO, Mertado (acquired by Groupon), and early team at Kosmix (acquired by Walmart). Customer expectations and buying behaviors have progressed significantly in recent years, forcing brands to reimagine the customer experience. High-touch offline interactions have been replaced by instantaneous digital experiences across an ever-growing number of channels. Product selection has grown from a few well-known brand names to an abundance of choice among a growing selection of niche brands across every category. This has made it ever-more challenging to capture consumer's fleeting attention and rise above the noise.

In the past few years, Artificial Intelligence has become more and more ubiquitous in our everyday tech, and it shows no signs of going away, with investment into UK AI reaching --2.42bn in 2019. According to the Tech Nation Report 2020, looking at data from 2015-2019, the UK is third in the world for levels of AI investment, second by deal count, and the only country of the top 5 AI nations to have demonstrated consistent positive year-on-year growth for the last 5 years. A regular feature of sci-fi and sometimes horror, AI has often been forewarned as something to be afraid of, and while the ethical implications are something that need to be kept central to the development of AI, it--s not something that necessarily spells the end of days. So what exactly is Artificial Intelligence, what does it mean for the consumer and where do we expect it to go in the next few years? We asked some members of the public for their main concerns surrounding the technology, and asked some founders from our Applied AI 1.0 programme if they could clear up some of myths, misunderstandings and concerns. Mohammad Rashid Khan, Co-founder & CEO of Calipsa and Jamie Potter, Co-founder & CEO at Flexciton gave us their insights.--

Noah is an AI systems architect. Prior to founding Quorum, Noah spent 12 years in academic research, first at the University of Southern California and most recently at Northwestern as the Assistant Chair of Neurobiology. His work focused on information processing in the brain and he has translated his research into products in augmented reality, brain-computer interfaces, computer vision, and embedded robotics control systems. Your interest in AI and robotics started as a little boy. How were you first introduced to these technologies?

I recently had the opportunity to chat with Kate Bradley Chernis, Co-Founder & CEO of Lately, an SAP.iO NYC Foundry company that was one of nine chosen to participate in the 2018 inaugural cohort. Lately is responsible for artificially intelligent (AI)-powered marketing software that automatically turns blogs, videos, and podcasts into dozens of amazing social posts. Below, Kate describes how AI can help you engage way more successfully. Did you know that, on average, it takes 12 minutes to write a single social post from scratch? 12 minutes! Writing a social post takes longer.
