Much like the six great episodes of the first series of Beyond the Hype: AI, in this series we’ll be interviewing the world’s leading AI technologists, AI entrepreneurs and corporate executives to get under the skin of this technology and discuss the reality of Artificial Intelligence today, what is to come, and why it matters.

Across the nine episodes of series 2, the MMC team digs deeper into the practical realities of AI with the people and companies transforming today’s industries including Current Health, Signal AI, Peak, Barclays Eagle Labs, Senseye, Recycleye, Senseon, Gardin, Rise and Genie AI.

Episodes 1 and 2 are already available. You can listen here or wherever you get your podcasts.

LISTEN NOW: Episode 1 — Transforming Manufacturing

How is AI transforming the manufacturing industry today? MMC Partner, Simon Menashy, goes ‘Beyond The Hype’ with Senseye, a company that has developed a market-leading predictive maintenance product.

Rob Russell, CTO and co-founder, discusses how he left a multi-decade career in aerospace engineering to launch Senseye, why predictive maintenance is one of the ‘killer apps’ for AI in manufacturing and how Senseye has built market-leading AI capabilities.

LISTEN NOW: Episode 2 — The role of AI in a Circular Economy

If we are going to transition to a more circular economy, we need a smarter approach to recycling.

MMC’s Dele Akinyemi goes ‘Beyond The Hype’ with Victor Dewulf and Peter Hedley, co-founders of Recycleye (a company that is deploying the latest computer vision technology to revolutionise waste recycling).

This discussion covers a lot — from the key trends in the waste management industry and how Covid-19 is catalysing major shifts to the role of machine learning in reducing the waste that ends up in landfill.
