Decoding AI™: Recent Episodes
Clara Durodie
Artificial intelligence, AI, has taken financial services by storm. AI is complex and confusing, especially for financial boards and executive management who typically have no technology experience.
Decoding AI aims to decode all that confusing jargon, explaining concepts in plain language and putting them in a business context.
Decoding AI is an audio extension of the highly acclaimed book, Decoding AI in Financial Services written by the host, Clara Durodié, a globally recognised name in the business and governance of AI. Clara and her distinguished guests will unpack, in plain English, how we should use AI for business profitability while keeping technology in check.
Her guests have valuable experience accumulated in building companies, serving on boards and in government, teaching in academia, redesigning companies and themselves while aiming to build a better future for our communities through innovation and financial technology.
Have you ever felt intensely uncomfortable in meetings when an AI in business is being discussed and you could not make sense of what is being said, let alone ask good questions?
Then this is the podcast for you.
No jargon. Just practical points and in plain language.
