Episode Summary

Never has technology so dramatically changed humankind than in the last century. This week, we discuss how diversity in technology and rigorous test can help drive innovation.

Episode Notes

Never has technology so dramatically changed humankind than in the last century. Organizations are using technology in truly innovative ways to solve the many problems we have and to create opportunities such as improved living conditions, economic impact, and longer life expectancy. This week, we discuss how diversity in technology and rigorous test can help drive innovation. We welcome Efosa Ojomo from the Clayton Christensen Institute and Matt Stephenson from Code2College to talk about the power of tech that welcomes everyone and provides solutions for all members of society. We share examples of how the combination of AI and clinical expertise may be able to save lives, with the help of test of course.
