Listen "A.I. and Child Welfare with Michael Tanana"
Episode Synopsis
On this week’s episode, Michael Tanana of Lyssn, joins us to talk about artificial intelligence, or AI, in the child welfare system. Tanana helped found Lyssn, which uses AI to help assess the quality of various services in a way that used to require painstaking transcription and notetaking. We talked about starting an AI company in this space and also about his views around the ethical application of it in a system where the integrity of families is often on the line. Michael Tanana is a data scientist, machine learning researcher and software engineer. He co-founded Lyssn in 2017.
