Purpose, partnerships and predictive analytics Part 2
Hear Quantium CEO Adam Driussi talk AI, ethics and social responsibility in part 2 of the latest Catalyst Conversations podcast.
There are over 120 zettabytes of data in the world, but less than 1% is ever analysed. That’s an extraordinary volume of unrealised value and potential. In part 2 of the discussion, Adam explains the potential pitfalls around HOW we discuss (and use) data, as well as the ethics and common misconceptions around AI and predictive analysis. -
Purpose, partnerships and predictive analytics Part 1
In the first episode of this two part conversation, Adam talks about the history of Quantium as a pioneer in the data space. Adam has always understood the far reaching power of data in decision making - to enrich decisions rather than dictate them. He talks about the importance of a clear company Purpose and the journey his organisation went through to unlock the full power of that purpose. Finally he talks about the importance of alignment - between data and creativity, values and behaviours, Purpose and partnerships, and more.
