Episode 09: AI For Good With James Hodson
James Hodson
AI Researcher, Leader, Entrepreneur:
CEO @ AI for Good Foundation,
Chief Science Officer @ Cognism
I talk to James Hodson, CEO and board member of AI FOR GOOD, an organization that aims to use AI to affect meaningful social change.
We discuss how the organization defines social good, how Corporations and Academia are hampered in their ability to push social innovation and how AI For Good seeks to fill that void. We discuss a few of their projects, especially around diversity and inclusion in the workplace - quantifying and measuring corporations' adherence to their D&I goals.
We also discuss why public confidence in AI algorithms (such as social media) is at an all time low And how we could improve Data Science education in order to better align algorithms with societal improvement.
