Hello, Hello, Malcolm Glabele here

0:02

back with another season of Smart Talks

0:04

with IBM, a podcast featuring the

0:07

visionaries who are creatively applying

0:09

technology in business to drive change.

0:12

We're diving back into the world of artificial

0:14

intelligence, but with a focus on

0:17

the powerful concept of open its

0:19

possibilities, implications

0:21

and misconceptions. Open

0:24

has become something of a buzzword in the

0:26

industry, but what does it really mean.

0:28

It can mean open source code or

0:31

open data, of course, but it can also

0:33

encompass so much more, like

0:35

fostering an ecosystem of ideas,

0:38

ensuring diverse perspectives are heard,

0:40

and enabling new levels of transparency

0:43

in the pursuit of progress. This

0:45

season, we'll look at openness from

0:47

a variety of angles and explore how

0:50

the concept is already reshaping

0:52

industries, ways of doing business

0:54

and our very notion of what's possible.

0:57

Because there's so much to cover, I've invited

1:00

some curious friends to help. Just like

1:02

in the past, you'll get to hear from my extraordinary

1:04

colleagues of Pushkin, like the renowned

1:06

financial journalist Jacob Goldstein, host

1:09

of What's Your Problem and Yelle professor

1:11

doctor Loris Santos, host of

1:13

the Happiness Lab, and of course I'll

1:16

be here to guide you through the season and

1:18

offer my two cents as well. You

1:20

can listen on the iHeartRadio app,

1:23

Apple Podcasts, or wherever

1:25

you get your podcasts. This
