Building with Generative AI | Podcast with Inviqa CTO, Kaustav Bhattacharya, & Imteaz Ahamed

In this first episode of Applied Intelligence, Imteaz talks with Kaustav Bhattacharya, an AI and data science leader with over 20 years of experience, about the intersection of generative AI, business and education. Kaustav discusses the potential for generative AI to assist with and accelerate learning, particularly for neurodiverse populations. However, he also acknowledges the need for caution, given the potential for bias in the training data sets of generative AI models. The conversation also touches on personalized experiences for consumers based on their data profiles, and the challenges and opportunities that come with this. Throughout the conversation, Kaustav emphasizes the importance of lifelong learning and the need to keep up with the rapid pace of change in AI and data science.

Kaustav recommends a book, "The Culture Map" by Erin Meyer, which provides a deep appreciation of global cultures and could be a helpful tool in creating culturally nuanced, less biased AI algorithms in the future. He also talks about the impact of culture on the development of personalized experiences, particularly in areas like healthcare, where the impact of bias can be significant.

The episode concludes with Kaustav sharing his social handles and encouraging listeners to contact him for continued conversation. Highlights include the potential for generative AI to accelerate learning, the impact of bias in training data sets, the importance of cultural nuance in personalized experiences, and the need for lifelong learning in AI and data science.
