Hey guys! Welcome to GrowGetters – the future skills podcast.

On our second last episode for Season 4, this week we will take you in a more techy-focused direction by hosting an unmissable masterclass with the excellent, Nell Watson.

Eleanor ‘Nell’ Watson is a Machine Intelligence researcher who helped to pioneer Deep Machine Vision through her company QuantaCorp, which enables fast and accurate body measurement from just two photos.

In sharing her knowledge as an AI Faculty member at Singularity University and authoring Machine Intelligence courseware for O’Reilly Media, she realised the importance of protecting human rights and putting ethics, safety, and the values of the human spirit into A.I.

She chairs EthicsNet.org, a community teaching pro-social behaviours to machines, plus many other organisations.

Nell serves as a Senior Scientific Advisor to The Future Society at Harvard, and holds Fellowships from the British Computing Society, and Royal Statistical Society, among others.

Her public speaking has inspired audiences globally to work towards brighter futures at venues such as the MIT, The World Bank, The United Nations General Assembly, and the list goes on.

Her work is regularly covered by Wired, BBC, The Guardian, Forbes, Vice, and, and, and...

She’s our favourite female technologist and we love that she believes that technology can (and should) be leveraged to free us from the saddest aspects of the human condition. Such an important topic as our world becomes more virtual.

1. What is the difference between machine learning and AI. 
2. How AI and machine learning affect our lives today. 
3. How algorithms shape opinions and influence free speech right now.
