Ireland’s AI ambassador is the special guest on the second episode of the Business Post’s newest podcast

Welcome to the second episode of the Connected AI Podcast, a new fortnightly podcast presented by Charlie Taylor, the Business Post’s technology editor, and Elaine Burke, one of our leading contributors.

The Connected AI Podcast, which is brought to you in association with Expleo, aims to cut through the hype and get to the heart of AI for business, with expert guests offering their advice, and the hosts giving their take on big developments in the space.

In the latest episode we talk with Ireland’ AI ambassador Patricia Scanlon about the role of the advisory council she leads, opportunities for Ireland, and much more.

Scanlon, who previously founded and led SoapBox Labs, one of the country’s leading AI-focused companies, also discusses the need for training in AI, and offers advice for those wanting to exploring the technology further.

In addition, Charlie and Elaine discuss big changes at the top of some of the biggest AI-focused companies, concerns that AI could cause ‘social ruptures’ between people who disagree on its sentience, and how Coca-Cola has caused controversy with it new AI-generated Christmas ads.
