Quotes:

“Amii is all about capacity building, so we’re not a traditional agent in that sense. We are trying to educate and inform industry on how to do this work, with Amii at first, but then without Amii at the end.” — Mara Cairo [0:06:20]

“We need to ask the right questions. That’s one of the first things we need to do, is to explore where the problems are.” — Mara Cairo [0:07:46]

“We certainly are comfortable turning certain business problems away if we don’t feel it’s an ethical match or if we truly feel it isn’t a problem that will benefit much from machine learning.” — Mara Cairo [0:11:52]
