About this episode

As businesses collect more data than ever, the question arises: is bigger always better? Companies are beginning to question whether massive datasets and complex infrastructures are truly delivering results or just adding unnecessary costs. How can you align your data strategy with your actual needs? Could focusing on smaller, more manageable datasets improve efficiency and save resources while still delivering valuable insights?

Dr. Madelaine Daianu is the Head of Data & AI at Credit Karma, Inc. Before joining the company in June 2023, she served as Head of Data and Pricing at Belong Home, Inc. Earlier in her career, Daianu has held numerous senior roles in data science and machine learning at The RealReal, Facebook, and Intuit. Daianu earned a Bachelor of Applied Science in Bioengineering and Mathematics from the University of Illinois at Chicago and a Ph.D. in Bioengineering and Biomedical Engineering from the University of California, Los Angeles.

In the episode, Richie and Madelaine explore generative AI applications at Credit Karma, the importance of data infrastructure, the role of explainability in fintech, strategies for scaling AI processes, and much more.
