Host Karl talks with Scott Sandland from Cyrano.ai, a company that is developing smart "AI" software that will help counselors address some tough emotional issues. Scott started out focusing on teen suicide and has built up systems from there.
Scott is the former world's youngest hypnotherapist. A few
companies (and decades) later he is the CEO of a company focusing
on artificial empathy and strategic linguistics. As a former
executive director and CEO of a mental health clinic and longtime
technologist, he has experience leading purpose driven
organizations. He has been published in numerous peer-reviewed
journals, Psychology Today, Forbes, and Entrepreneur Magazine.
Scott has presented his AI work at the United Nations AI for Global
Good Conference and is a frequent guest lecturer at various
universities.
Here we dig into AI chatbots that are attempting to do good things - with empathy and strategy. We also dig into some of the current issues with AI and ethics.
Scott's company builds and has patented an AI system optimized
for effective communication skills, active listening, and strategic
responses to help people increase motivation towards a desired
outcome.
Acknowledging that this is a very difficult chore and it could be
very dangerous to get it wrong.
