You can hear in his voice that Lavine truly believes that educating millions of people to apply these skill sets will change the world. The possibilities are endless, whether it be food creation, ocean conservation, global warming… you name it! He relays his important it is to encourage our youth, women and all those who feel stuck to view education as something that can be applied to do better for yourself or your firm.
“What’s been absolutely beautiful is to see the sheer passion that these people can throw themselves into these complex areas of technology and try and use that for social good, for impact.”
One of the purposes of his company is to have man and machine work effectively. If you apply AI, or a program that saves you hours of a specific task you do at work- you can use that time you are saving to do those things that you couldn’t get to before that can make a real impact.
“We really believe there’s a ripple effect that we can empower entrepreneurs, young people, older people with these skills- kind of like giving them superpowers and saying ‘go do something great for the world with it.’ That to me is just absolutely beautiful.”
