What's the point of AI if it doesn't solve big problems?

Marcus is a mathematician on a mission. He quit investment banking to found Elyndra AI, a platform doing amazing things for children's care.

In this episode of AI in Social Care, we cover:

• The best way to reinvent care isn't through tech – we need a Netflix documentary
• From trading floors to children's homes – turning data analysis on proper problems
• How Shadow AI is already in your care service – and how to fix that before it does harm
• Some fascinating and original work in reimagining recruitment for complex care
• Approaching tech procurement as a great door opener to discussions within a business – and one warning sign to look out for from vendors

Marcus is an original thinker that the sector is lucky to have IMHO.

Do your ears a favour and listen to this one.
