Depending on your point of view, big data and AI will either save the world or be the end of us.
Stephanie Sy’s data science consultancy, Thinking Machines, builds machine learning models for organisations including the World Bank and Unicef, using data to tackle the biggest issues facing the planet today. But while Stephanie’s company demonstrates how AI can be harnessed to make the world a better place, she’s far from blind of the perils of the misuse of data.
In her conversation with Gen.T editor Lee Williamson, former Googler Stephanie covers everything from the privacy paradox to fake news. She also shares why she’s never accepted VC money and why, despite appearances, 2020 might be the best year to start a company.
