  • Get Visible: Using Public Relations To Help Startups Drive Growth
    Today's "This Week In Innovation" #podcast features a recent #Clubhouse room I did with Scott Phillips, Founder and President of Scott Phillips + Associates PR firm.  It was a wide ranging conversation full of great ideas founders can use to raise their profiles in the analyst and press worlds.
    Scott also provides insights on what to look for in a public relations firm. We even dive into the "pigeonhole" question.

  • Adoption of Innovative Tech in Traditional Organizations
    Today on the #podcast I’m speaking with
    Brian Sathianathan, Co-Founder/Chief Digital Officer/CTO, Iterate.ai
    John Selvadurai, Sr. Director of R&D, Iterate.ai
    for a conversation about the adoption of innovative technologies in traditional organizations. What does it take to bring digital innovation into all these companies and what are some of the problems leaders are facing and how can they practically solve some of those things?
    The 3 main challenges traditional companies face:
    The technology stack is built in a very traditional classic stack system
    Lack of Flexibility to integrate the latest technologies
    Maintenance – legacy systems require more cost to maintain
    The combination of these three challenges chokes out the ability of traditional firms to recruit and hold onto fresh talent that want to work with modern technology.

  • Can AI Be Biased?
    In today’s episode of #ThisWeekInInnovation we will be discussing bias in #AI. This is a problem that’s affecting many organizations. An AI bias typically means some sort of an irregularity in the data or the algorithm has seeped in and is creating prejudiced outputs. These can be unintentional prejudice created for various demographics like race, color or other variables. There are two forms of biases.
    Cognitive Biases - Human biases could seep into machine learning algorithms, either designers unknowingly, introducing them to a model or a training data set, which includes those biases.
    Data Bias - Simply the lack of a complete data. It is not be representative and therefore that lack of information can be biased.
    We will be talking about how these biases are created, what they are, some of the implications and how organizations could be more aware of these problems and methods to address them.
