Join host David Savage as he speaks with serial tech entrepreneur Mel Morris, founder and CEO of Deep Research Engine, corpora.ai. In this insightful conversation, Mel unpacks the critical limitations of current AI models like ChatGPT, especially their tendency to 'hallucinate' and double down on misinformation, even arguing with users. Discover how corpora.ai is building a different kind of AI: one designed to scour hundreds of billions, even trillions, of documents using real data and smaller, more accurate models, making it far less prone to hallucinations. This isn't about replacing human intuition, but fueling it, enabling 'deep, deep, deep research' for biotech, material science, and financial institutions. Learn why the future of AI lies in a collaborative 'duet' between human judgment and advanced information access, leading to breakthroughs like doubling solar panel output, and what C-suite leaders should really be asking about AI today. This episode promises to "Make Tech Make Sense" by revealing the human decisions and real impact behind technology choices.Tech Talks is powered by Nash Squared, the leading global provider of technology and talent solutions.

"In a world accelerating through an 'AI gold rush' where less than 20% of organizations have clear AI governance in place, we face a critical question: who will set the rules for responsible AI development? While global governments grapple with wildly different regulatory philosophies (from the US's reluctance to China's robust legislation) a surprising, ready-made solution exists. This episode unpacks how international standards bodies like the British Standards Institution (BSI) are stepping into this vacuum, bringing together diverse experts, academics, and civil society to define what ethical and safe AI actually looks like. We explore how consensus-based standards, such as the new ISO 42001 management system for AI, are becoming the practical blueprint for organizations to responsibly harness AI, bridging the critical gap where legislation lags. Susan Taylor Martin reveals why these global, flexible standards are not just about compliance, but about building trust and preventing the unseen mistakes of past tech booms."We want you to watch the latest Tech Flix doc on August 21st, sign up here to join us on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/events/data-suntoldstory-theaienergycr7353018441315848193/theater/ Tech Talks is powered by Nash Squared, the leading global provider of technology and talent solutions.
