Cambridge Executive Business Insights – Podcast
A podcast exploring how business can have a positive impact on people, places and the planet.
The Cambridge Executive Business Insights podcast explores ideas shaping the future of business and technology. Through conversations with researchers, practitioners and business leaders, we look at how organisations can create value while responding to the challenges of our time.
Series 2 – Rethinking AI
What if the future of artificial intelligence wasn’t about building ever-bigger systems, but about building smarter ones?
That question sits at the heart of the second series of the Cambridge Executive Business Insights podcast, hosted by Jaideep Prabhu, Professor of Marketing at Cambridge Judge Business School. The new series, titled Rethinking AI, explores the emerging concept of frugal AI, an approach to artificial intelligence that focuses on doing more with less.
Professor Prabhu’s research interests are in innovation, marketing, international business, strategy, policy and development. He has a particular focus on frugal innovation in large and small firms in developed and emerging economies. Jaideep is also interested in frugal innovation in the public sector and how governments should cultivate and regulate new technologies in the economy.
