Building AI models is still a VIP fiesta that is only reserved for somewhere between 0.002% and 0.02% of the global population looking at how many data scientists are out there. What if everyone could build a machine learning model to solve their personal and/or business problem with NO code at all? That’s already happening, my friend, and Peltarion is one of the pioneers enabling this revolution!✊

Korey Stegared-Pace, an AI Developer Advocate at Peltarion, is sharing his amazing insights about this data riot and it looks like opportunities are endless.

With us all using AI on a daily basis without even knowing it, isn’t it democratized already? What will the world look like when just as many people build AI models through platforms like Peltarion as building web pages through WordPress? And are Data Scientists going to disappear?!

43: Ethical Investment Made Easy with Blockchain | Jori Armbruster, EthicHub

Our current financial system is far from perfect and one of the biggest issues with it is that it leaves aside about a quarter of humanity, 1.7 billion people! With the arrival of blockchain and DeFi (decentralized finance), there is a big hope that this technology will create a more fair, inclusive, and efficient financial ecosphere.

One of the pioneers in the field is our guest
Jori who created Ethichub, a company that makes socially responsible investment easy and secure, eliminating major barriers to capital flow through the use of blockchain, cryptocurrencies, and a so-called peer-to-peer crowdlending. It connects people in developed countries that want to invest their money in a socially beneficial and profitable cause with solvent farmers around the globe and creates a win-win situation where farmers pay less interest and investors receive more returns.

How exactly does it work? Is this investment risky? How do you approach farmers with something as fancy-sounding as “blockchain peer-to-peer crowdlending”?! All this and more in this episode, so tune in!

42: Product Carbon Footprint | Simon Hohenadl, ClimatePartner

Every EU citizen generates around 8 tons of carbon emission yearly. But to limit global warming to 2 degrees we need to lower it to just 1 ton. As individuals, our daily consumption decisions accumulate our carbon footprint. When purchasing a product, how can we learn about its environmental impact? What is a reasonable amount of carbon emission for each kind of product?  ClimatePartner, a carbon neutral label, is the solution that identifies how much carbon emission is produced with each product and what are the projects involved to offset them. Today, the CTO Simon Hohenadl is here to introduce us how ClimatePartner helps companies calculate their carbon footprints and offset their emissions, and how consumers can be empowered to make informed purchases with zero carbon footprint.

Eduardo’s LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/eduardopeire/

And email: edu@aiscope.net

Taking into account the current COVID pandemic, it is easy to oversee the persisting impact of other infectious diseases in the world. Nevertheless, malaria alone continues to take over half a million lives each year, along with other spreading diseases that need to be taken care of. Diagnosis, the first step of the cure, turns out to be very expensive and sometimes impossible to carry out in developing regions, especially in rural areas. Microscopic blood tests are expensive and there’s a clear lack of trained staff to perform analyses.

Eduardo Peire, the Founder and the Head of Innovation at AI Scope, has found a brilliant application of AI to serve a higher purpose. He and his team are developing an app, powered by computer vision Deep Learning algorithms, that by connecting a phone to a microscope can automatically detect infectious diseases and confirm a need for further diagnostic. This allows to drastically reduce the cost and increase the scale at which diagnoses can be performed. However, the application does not exclude humans from the process and serves as a collaboration tool between the human and the machine. The algorithm is used to filter out people who certainly are not infected, to allow more resources and time to be allocated for people who really need it.

Tune in with us in this discussion with Eduardo where he explains how the idea was born, how he gathered resources to power the non-profit project, and what humbling learnings he and his team have encountered on their way.

26: Data Workers of the World, Unite! | Reinier Tromp, The Data Union

What, do you think, is the secret of Google, Amazon, Netflix, and other Big Tech companies to become the most powerful and rich firms in today’s arena? Arguably, this is thanks to the invisible gold of the 21st century in their possession we call data. Today’s internet still remains a mostly unregulated space where profound manipulation and surveillance takes place. If we work for free on creating that data that is the essence of all the state-of-the-art algorithms today, then why don’t we have a say in how we want this technology to be used? And if it is worth so many $$$, shouldn’t we get paid for it?

The following is the conversation with the creator of the first data union in the world, Reinier Tromp. Just like labor unions used collective power to pressure capitalist firms and governments to create better conditions for the workers, a data union aims at creating better conditions for data producers, aka internet users just like you and me.

4: DEBATE - Are we giving up Personal Privacy for Public Security?

How far are we from the Big Brother's dystopian world? 

From security cameras at every street corner detecting criminal events; to location tracking embedded in everyone's phone to enforce quarantine; to chat histories used in court as evidence of litigation...

What is your thought?
