Good Experts episode 1: How to do AI – the social enterprise way

The world of business for good is complex and fast moving, and it can be challenging to keep up with the new ideas, technologies and innovations driving positive change. So at Pioneers Post, we’ve decided to call in the experts to help us – and you – to make sense of it all: welcome to the Good Experts Podcast.


In the first episode, Pioneers Post’s Anna Patton and co-host Matt Haworth, CEO of Impact Reporting, quiz their guests on one of the hottest – yet most controversial – topics of recent months: artificial intelligence.


If you’re running an ethical or purpose driven-business, AI can become a tool for doing more good, but this is often untested ground, so it’s not without risks – notably due to its detrimental effects on people and planet. So, as Anna puts it, “how should we do AI the social enterprise way?”
