AI…should we be scared of it? Today we talk about that, what things are crucial to making AI socially beneficial, and why coalition-building is crucial to impactful solutions.   ABOUT KENNY CHEN Kenny is a leader in the Pittsburgh technology community who is passionate about bringing people together to ensure that artificial intelligence is developed for social good. He's the co-founder of the Partnership to Advance Responsible Technology (PART), a nonprofit think-tank that works with local and international partners to advise on AI policy and strategy. Kenny has been involved in a wide variety of other local to global initiatives where technology meets social impact, including the Thrival Festival, XPRIZE competitions, and the UN AI for Good Summit. He will soon start a Masters in Public Policy at the Harvard Kennedy School, where he'll continue developing his work in AI policy.   FOLLOW OUR GUEST Connect with Kenny Chen   RATE & REVIEW If you enjoyed this episode, please go leave a rating or review on iTunes right now as it really helps grow the show.

Innovation from the entrepreneur and researcher’s point of view often lacks an important perspective : the problem-owner. Problem-owners, AI data access and data biases are our focus on today’s episode.

The 2018 edition of the Thrival Festival explored the interesting question of ethics in healthcare. Part of that discussion centers around the shift from paternalistic to participative, patient-centered care. It turns out these two dichotomies may best coexist.

Holy hell, we made it.  Episode 100. We decided against making too big of a thing about it.  In fact, this would be a totally regular show if we weren't drinking champagne.  Staying fairly true to form though, we drank the champagne out of whiskey tasting glasses, and talked to our old friend Kenny Chen about how he might pitch the speakers and panels at this year's Thrival Festival to the people who might not have thought about attending.  Kenny's been up to a lot since we last spoke to him, getting a title bump to “Innovation Director” at Ascender / Thrival, getting deeply involved as an XPrize ambassador, and even working with the United Nations on AI for Good initiatives. Kenny's a tremendous person, and we're glad he joined us for our biggest milestone yet.
