Episode 2 - Ray Collia: The Why, 'Kiai' and the trouble with AI - Trials, Tales and Trails
10/21/23 • 41 min
Raconteur extraordinaire Ray Collia of Word Ferret joins Chris Wells and Andy Thurstan 'in the campervan' for episode two of Trials, Tales and Trails - the still-new podcast for the pharmaceutical clinical research and drug development industry. 'Kiai' is Japanese for fighting spirit and the theme runs right through this episode: Ray tells us about his personal promise to give something back to the healthcare world, and how an encounter at an elite karate camp has inspired him when times get tough. We chat about his lifelong association with technology - from Space Invaders to the Mario Brothers and how he attended his first tech conference before he even hit high school - as well as his fears (and hopes) for Artificial Intelligence.
