What’s the point of AI if it doesn’t solve big problems?
Marcus is a mathematician on a mission. He quit investment banking to found Elyndra AI, a platform doing amazing things for children’s care.
In this episode of AI in Social Care, we cover:
- The best way to reinvent care isn’t through tech – we need a Netflix documentary
- From trading floors to children’s homes – turning data analysis on proper problems
- How Shadow AI is already in your care service – and how to fix that before it does harm
- Some fascinating and original work in reimagining recruitment for complex care
- Approaching tech procurement as a great door opener to discussions within a business – and one warning sign to look out for from vendors
Marcus is an original thinker that the sector is lucky to have IMHO.
