Today I speak with Matt Celuszak, Founder of Element Human, a customer understanding platform that uses AI to measure and make sense of the drivers of human behaviour.Having spent the last decade working alongside top experts in technology and psychology to build machine learning that recognises body language using webcams, Matt works at the intersection of people and technology, pioneering a new class of Human Data that enables tech, AI and its users to be more emotionally aware and empathetic. With clients including the BBC, Amazon, Whalar and Omnicom, Element Human helps organisations measure the conscious (behavioural) and subconscious (emotions) drivers of human behaviour within their ecosystems, using everyday devices paired with advanced intelligence to better understand key stakeholders, improve their experience, and drive more socially sustainable business.While I am now behavioural science adviser to his company, I first met Matt many years ago when he was starting out, and alongside his desire to transform the media landscape, his interest in applying technology to help create meaningful change across critical issues in education, healthcare, mental health, and children's well-being is something I really appreciate, especially in an industry that is not without its challenges.From exploring human centred design and our understanding of emotions, to unpacking the shortfalls and benefits of machine learning in human data and the impact of regulation and privacy when building artificial intelligence systems, Matt’s areas of expertise touch on many of the themes I’m looking to explore in this season, and I’m excited to share this conversation with you.Recorded on 31st March 2023.

110. Working With AI: Collaboration, Creativity & Command / Matt Celuszak

Matt is the CEO of CrowdEmotion. A tech start-up in London that tracks human emotional data with the goal of humanising technology to understand who we are and how we feel. It’s an amazing and ambitious project operating in one of the most interesting spaces in technology today.We discuss the business and the shape of things to come, along with his key lessons from being a CEO of a bootstrapped tech company. A must listen for those interested in AI, psychology, business and the future.TOP TIPS1. Employee’s FirstMatt always holds his employee’s before anyone else and cares so deeply about them. This overwhelming principle was the glue that kept the company together when things went tits up and kept us all fighting for the greater cause. Knowing that your team are there for you makes such a difference.We were always welcome in his house and to chat about our issues whenever we needed. He even did the little things like surprising me by turning up at one of my gigs to showing up at the airport when a new employee from overseas arrived.2. Trust People and don’t MicromanageTo scale yourself successfully and operate a sound business and keep a sound mind you have to trust others to do their work.It free’s you up to focus on delivering the core things you need to do. It empowers others to do great work knowing that they are responsible for delivering on important items.Matt was great at finding young inexperienced individuals with an edge and getting the best out of them by giving them opportunities to grow.3. Be your honest selfHonesty is a theme that is important in so many areas.Want to give a good pitch?= have all the facts to hand and just be honest and yourself.Want to be a good networker? = Just do the hobbies you honestly enjoy and don’t put yourself in awkward business meet ups.Want to be successful employee or leader?= Find the things you honestly enjoy and commit to doing that the best you can and don’t try to fit a square peg into a round hole to please others.BOOKS:The Alchemist (https://www.amazon.co.uk/Alchemist-Fable-About-Following-Dream/dp/0722532938/ref=sr_1_1?crid=2OMYQKH9IG2MT&amp;keywords=the+alchemist&amp;qid=1580046051&amp;s=books&amp;sprefix=the+alch%2Cstripbooks%2C360&amp;sr=1-1) — Paulo CoelhoA really cute and inspiring book about following your dreams and learning about the world.
