#118: "AI tools help stimulate creativity, humans think beyond" - Stuart Whayman, President of Corporate Markets at Elsevier
Join us this week for The Tech Leaders Podcast, where Gareth sits down with Stuart Whayman, President of Corporate Markets at Elsevier, a part of RELX Group. They discuss how AI is revolutionising Research and Development, Elsevier-Reed’s shift from hardware to digital, and what the Red Arrows can teach us about leadership.
Stuart also talks about how AI can augment rather than replace humans, why an LLM is not a truth model, and delves into some of the fascinating projects for the Elsevier Foundation Challenge – https://elsevierfoundation.org/chemistry-for-climate-action-challenge/.
