Show Notes

Harry Keen, CEO and co-founder of Hazy, explains how synthetic could address bias issues for AI training data, why we should prioritise the near-term issues with AI instead of doomsday predictions, and shares his experience spinning out from UCL.  

Founded in 2017, Hazy creates artificial data that replicates the quality of real-world data without including personal information. Companies can then use this synthetic data to train AI models without the associated privacy risks. The company has raised nearly $15m and has been backed by Microsoft. Keen was previously engineering design lead at Opendesk.
