Episode Synopsis

In this second podcast I am delighted to talk to Graeme a freelance philosophical consultant. We talk about personalised decision making, personalised medicine and how everything mediated by algorithms. But what do they do with “outliers” – the people who don’t conform to the “average”? If we don’t ‘fit the mould.’ How much will the changes in society change the structure that the algorithms use. Or will these algorithms marginalise people further? We also talk about Graeme’s fascinating career journey in academia, stand up comedy, through to working in America becoming head of the philosophy department. Finally we talk about cultures at work and what Confucius would suggest that we do to do in a toxic culture.
