The AI Series is a popular initiative. Of course, because many of you are sponges that want to get as much information, guidance and critical mass on how to use the Large Language Models. In the first five episodes in the series my dear guests Rita and Kristjan have been taking us through different corners of this new technology and in the last round we had a double episode focusing on the critical points of the chatbots.

Now, finally, it is time for the perspective of the funding administrator. Rosie Afia-Ford is Senior Innovation Fund Manager in Caribou Digital which is running the Mastercard Strive programme. She wrote a blogpost on exactly the topic of how the chatbots are changing the world for funding administrators.

Of course, Rita, Kristjan and I had to get her into the virtual podcast studio. It became a wonderful conversation about new opportunities for beneficiaries, the responsibilities of funding administrators and the challenges they are facing with these new technologies.
