“There is potential for it [AI] to go badly and there is potential for it to go off the rails. But there is also always so much power to use it for the good of humanity. And that's the way I prefer to be focused to steer us in that direction.”
“So even at this stage of A.I., we have demonstrable experience of being able to say, here's a human problem, here's a category of human problems, and here's how we could leverage emerging exponential technology to help humanity solve that problem.”
“If we only look at human problems and the solutions to human problems through one lens, like technology or A.I., then we'll only get a very narrow read on it. But if we bring an integrative, holistic lens that has sort of a generalist philosophy, we stand a chance of really recreating human experience writ large in a very meaningful way. And that's the future I would like to see.”

Using AI to solve real problems, AI literacy & dealing w/ disruption w/ Jason Tan & Karina Grosheva
What professions will be most impacted by AI? How can we ensure we are using AI to solve meaningful problems? Are companies prepared for the ongoing digital transformation?
In this episode of IBM thinkLeaders podcast, we are joined by guests Jason Tan (co-founder & CEO of Sift) & Karina Grosheva (founder & CEO of TaQadam. We talk to Jason and Karina about making sure humans are in the loop, adding greater diversity in the data, and the importance of AI literacy.
“[A]s a buyer of software, I think it's important to educate yourself and understand the nuances of the different types of machine learning, the different qualities of machine learning, and make sure that you're trying to solve a problem in a meaningful way rather than having a hammer where everything looks like a nail.” -Jason Tan, co-founder & CEO of Sift
“[T]he idea that we bring more diversity into the data and training the data is where we need to be investing in.” -Karina Grosheva, founder & CEO of TaQadam
