This week Dan and Ray talk about the use of our data, with artificial intelligence on top, to support our wellbeing. From talking about our own time management and how data and AI is adding itself into that bit, to discussing the use of facial recognition for student registration, we discuss the humanistic elements of the story. For example, the important role of the teacher and their interaction with students, or our preferred working styles. And somehow we even end up mentioning massage in Swedish schools.

We discuss the importance of staying focused on impacting the desired outcome - like keeping students engaged in school or university to graduation - rather than getting lost by just focusing on the technology and AI thinking.

• 19 minutes in Ray talks about reading research saying that how students perform in their first assignment at university defines some students' self-belief of success or failure. The research was published by NCSEHE, produced by researchers at Deakin University and the University of Wollongong https://www.ncsehe.edu.au/publications/success-failure-higher-education-uneven-playing-fields/
• 23 minutes in Ray mentions listening to another podcast on AI and Data Science that had a good discussion on how to keep AI projects on track by ensuring a continued focus on the business outcomes. The podcast is  Data Futurology, and the specific episode is  "Focusing on Simplification to solve data science roadblocks with Evan Shellshear"
