315: Using the Future (A.I. and Blockchain) to Solve the Challenges of the Past with Dr. Elena Mechik

315: Using the Future (A.I. and Blockchain) to Solve the Challenges of the Past with Dr. Elena Mechik

We’re continuing our new podcast series on A.I. with my conversation with startup founder Dr. Elena Mechik.

Elena was inspired after spending two months in the Brazilian rainforest to use technologies like blockchain and A.I. to provide transparency and accountability to solve challenges of the past using the technologies of the future.

In our conversation, Elena and I talk about:

  • How she’s using AI in her software and why
  • What blockchain is and why it's important
  • Her experience in the Brazilian rainforest and the work she did for her PhD
  • How we see AI impacting society (the good and the bad)
  • What it's like to be a female founder of a startup

About My Guest: Dr Elena Mechik spent over five months in the rainforest of Brazil writing her PhD on climate change mitigation through sustainable conservation of tropical forests. In 2009, she founded an NGO to minimize poverty and protect the environment. In 2020, she founded INHUBBER, a SaaS solution for contract management, which uses blockchain and artificial intelligence technologies to reduce paper consumption at companies on the one hand and to create a total transparency of contractual relationships on the other.
