Episode Synopsis

Join host Nick Schutt on Robots and Red Tape for a fascinating dive into AI with Gissele Gajate Garrido, a PhD economist and analytics leader at EY with over 20 years of experience. From global impact evaluations to optimizing pricing at Nestlé and leading AI-driven analytics at EY, Gissele demystifies how AI works—breaking down transformer models that turn words into multi-dimensional math, not magic.Discover why AI lacks morals, risks biases from data sources like Reddit, and ignores externalities unless explicitly programmed, with real-world implications for fields like pharmaceuticals. Gissele shares her passion for responsible AI, emphasizing human oversight, retraining to avoid hallucinations, and simple, practical tools—like her game-changing recruiting optimizer.Key takeaways: AI thrives in volatile times but needs education and accountability to avoid catastrophic errors; it’s about creating more “pies” for everyone, not just slicing them differently. Perfect for leaders, tech enthusiasts, and anyone curious about AI’s potential and pitfalls.🎧 Subscribe for more episodes on tech and efficiency! #AI #ResponsibleAI #DataScience #TechInnovation #RobotsAndRedTape
