The Human Side of AI: Building Tech That Empowers Rather Than Replaces

In this episode of Keeping Up With Data, Polain Byimira and Emily Nota sat down with Dr. Julian Seidenberg, Head of AI at both Narrative Ltd and Datch Ltd, to explore his unique journey in artificial intelligence and how he’s shaping AI-driven solutions across industries. Narrative is transforming the way professional photographers work through vision AI software that accelerates their workflow, while Datch uses NLP-powered AI to help industrial workers leverage past data for enhanced efficiency and smarter decision-making.

Julian shares insights from over 15 years in AI and solutions architecture, along with highlights from his fascinating personal journey. Originally from Germany, Julian has spent the last 15 years in New Zealand, where he’s integrated a deep interest in ancient Sanskrit literature and Bhakti-Yoga meditation—a practice he began during a year spent as a Hare Krishna monk.

This episode offers a unique blend of cutting-edge AI discussion and personal insights into the world of a leading AI expert who combines technology with mindfulness.
