Many powerful use cases from his past in Yahoo, in The Telegraph and in The Economist are discussed. Moreover, he briefly mentions how Babylon strives to embed AI as the main enabling technology in their digital health platform. Artur truly is a remarkable individual and we could not be more happy to bring you this new episode with him in it. Honestly, we feel that 1 hour was not nearly enough, that we needed more time with him and that we will have to get him on board again for a 2nd recording.
