In this episode, Andy Gray, CEO and co-founder of Kortical, joins us for a conversation that unpacks the complex world of AI into something practical, relatable, and entertaining. 

Andy shares his journey from designing games out of boredom in school (after swerving Irish class) to building high-frequency algorithmic trading systems designed to outpace the competition. Along the way, a curious mind, a coding book in C++, and a chance encounter at a game design conference helped shape his path toward founding Kortical – all before AI was even a buzzword. 

We cover: 

• The difference between AI and Machine Learning 
• Why many AI projects fail—and how to avoid it 
• The untapped potential in automotive data 
• How to model intuitive actions into measurable, optimised processes 
• Why exposing existing data (like customer touchpoints before conversion) can transform business performance 

And much more...  

This episode is a goldmine for anyone trying to bridge the gap between cutting-edge tech and real-world application, especially in automotive retail.
