  • Small Data in a Big Data World with Jeff LoCastro

    March 02, 2021
  • Jeff LoCastro, CEO and Founder of Neener Analytics, discusses the value of individual, personal data in contrast to aggregate data and Neener’s revolutionary approach to opt-in data collection that allows for completely bias-free AI.

    Hosted by Jeff Kavanaugh, VP and Head of the Infosys Knowledge Institute.

    “We make binary decisions based on how people communicate with us, not what they talk about. When I'm talking to someone, I say, "This is the code we've cracked, is being able to intuit what human beings do naturally to survive on the planet, moving that to be able to do it technologically, to be able to say to every consumer, "I know you.” -
