Can AI ever make money. Can we justify the AI valuations? Does AI deliver real returns? At a time when the world is learning about - and doubting - the real-world impact of new AI tools, From Data To Dollars will explore the transformative potential of AI for businesses when the technology is deployed at scale.

Prosus has deep technical expertise and experience building an AI culture across dozens of companies, spanning more than 100 countries. With access to 2 billion consumers across the world, from fintech to edtech, food delivery and online classifieds, we have unique insight into what's working. Through in-depth conversations with leading experts, episodes will uncover insights, experiences, and best-practice examples designed to shine a light on the value AI can deliver.

Joining Prosus as launch host for From Data To Dollars is esteemed technology author and journalist, Gideon Lichfield. Gideon is the former editor in chief of WIRED magazine and MIT Technology Review as well as a former foreign correspondent for The Economist and now writes about the future of democracy and governance in his newsletter Futurepolis.

Gideon said, "I am excited to launch From Data To Dollars. There's huge interest in AI, but many businesses are still trying to figure out how to put it to work effectively. Thanks to its diverse portfolio of companies, Prosus has some fascinating insights about the way AI could change various industries in the next few years."

The first episode of From Data To Dollars tackles the big question of whether we're in an AI bubble or not, and focuses on the return on investment when deploying AI.

Joining Gideon will be Euro Beinat, Global Head of AI and Data Science at Prosus Group.

Euro Beinat, Global Head of AI and Data Science, said, "In my 25 years working as a technology executive, investor, and lecturer, I have developed a deep understanding of the opportunities that AI presents for businesses. My team and I live AI every day and we wanted to share our enthusiasm and understanding of the pitfalls. From pizza parties to help to benchmark which tools actually work, to how to take your employees all with you on the journey to building open innovation cultures, we know it's hard to get it right - but doing so matters for all businesses and employees."

Euro leads the central AI team of around 1000 data scientists tasked with building an AI culture at scale across a portfolio of 90+ companies. They identify what works and build AI tools which drive value.

Euro has spent more than 25 years working as a technology executive and entrepreneur in data science, machine learning, and AI. He is an active angel investor with a track record in technology start-ups. He currently holds positions on the Board of Directors for two companies and is co-founder of Data Science for Social Good, a non-profit organisation committed to leveraging data science for societal impact. Euro studied Computer Science and holds a PhD in Economics. He lectures on AI Governance at Insead Business.

From Data To Dollars will be available on all major podcast platforms, with new episodes to be released every fortnight.
