A fascinating and thought-provoking conversation for anyone who's looking to understand attitudes and drive behaviour change at scale for the betterment of society.
What drives misogynistic attitudes? How do you know whether your philanthropic intervention is making a difference? Can AI and big data help improve girls' education and expected career outcomes? What about privacy considerations when analysing mass behaviour online? We discuss these questions and many more.

Anurag’s key takeaway: The Internet is still in its infancy. We think of it as something that’s been here forever but it’s still relatively new. The next version of the Internet, the way information is indexed, the way we experience it, these things are all still to come. These are fascinating times.
Editor's Note: This interview was conducted in August 2020. In October 2020, Quilt.AI became a corporate sponsor of The Do One Better! Podcast. The original interview was conducted well before there had been any conversations around sponsorship. Anurag Banerjee was invited as a guest on The Do One Better!
