This week, we are speaking to Quilt.AI Founder and Chief Product Officer, Dr. Angad Chowdhry on What AI Told Us About COVID-19. Quilt.AI describe the internet as “a repository of human behaviour, opinions, preferences, and social interactions.” Their team of Anthropologists, semioticians, designers, engineers, data scientists and mathematicians are using these digital fragments to understand people and culture at scale. They have been doing some fascinating work, including research on child protection and suicide, and launching their climate change dashboard! We discuss their research on how COVID-19 has impacted human behaviours.

Inspired by the seemingly endless screentime of online classes. 'Desktop Skylines' is a mix of electronic tracks, some chat, and potentially inspiration (?).

Ft. words from T Joutsikoski & B Dawson.
