How do you access financial services when you're 'invisible'? 33:37

2 years之前33:37

33:37

Imagine an American single mother of two teenagers living in Indianapolis who decides it is time to buy her first family home. With no debt, a college degree and a steady job, one would think it would be easy to secure a mortgage. Except she can’t. What about a British national in his mid-thirties moving back to the UK after spending some time in Hong Kong? He has a corporate job and needs access to credit to get his life organised in the UK. Except he can’t because he has no past credit history in the UK and traditional credit lenders cannot score his ability to repay loans. Financial exclusion affects 30 percent of people worldwide across rich and developing countries and impacts a huge variety of people, from students, retirees, housewives, migrants and many more. Fortunately, there are solutions. In this episode, YS Chi speaks with Steve Elliot, UK managing director of LexisNexis Risk Solutions who shares his thoughts on how to address the issue in the UK; and with Carolina Costa, RELX head of government affairs for Latin America, who says Brazil is getting it right.

“I am lucky to be alive” – Alicia Kozak, child abduction survivor and online safety campaigner shares her story. 34:08

Alicia’s story is a rare story of survival. Twenty years ago, Alicia was abducted and raped by a man she met in an online chatroom. She was just 13 at the time. Her ordeal lasted four days, which was the time it took for the FBI to track down her kidnapper. Since her rescue, Alicia has devoted her life to fighting child predators and educating children and adults on internet safety and sexual exploitation. She is one of the most vocal and outspoken advocates for child safety legislation. In this episode, Alicia shares her insights on the scale of the problem of missing children and sextortions, victim blaming and what all parents should do to protect their children from online predators. As we become increasingly mindful of the issues associated with the sharing of personal data, Alicia reminds us that this same information enables task force agents to rescue endangered children.

The biggest heist in American history 27:45

27:45

Our largest and most vital US public government programs — food stamps (SNAP), Medicaid, Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF), unemployment insurance and even the tax system — are being systematically plundered by domestic and transnational criminals who are intent on disrupting our way of life. Woody Talcove knows this because for 14 years, he has been on the frontlines of securing government agencies from fraudsters, cybercriminals and adversaries. The level of fraud is possibly the biggest heist in American history. To put things in perspective, US government published preliminary data showing that in 2021 alone, it was defrauded by $277bn. And that relates to the unemployment insurance programme alone. Fraud is not only a problem for taxpayers and the federal budget. Fraud wreaks havoc on individuals’ lives and the people who suffer are those who need the most support. If fraud losses were stopped, they could pay for free childcare for every family in America. The time for complacency has come to an end. It is time to treat this as an national emergency. This podcast episode is a wake up call. Haywood ‘Woody’ Talcove is CEO of LexisNexis Risk Solution’s government business. This podcast is brought to you by RELX .…

As a global organisation with 33,000 people across 40 countries, how do we make sure we continue to attract, retain and develop talent? How do we adapt to new employee expectations? How do we create a working environment that is inclusive, embraces diversity of thought and allows people to have long and rewarding careers? In this episode, Rose Thomson, RELX chief human resources officer, shares with YS Chi her perspective on some of the big people themes that organisations need to think about to be successful, from the role of the manager to allowing people to have career changes. Also in this episode, YS Chi speaks with Emili Budell-Rhodes, lead evangelist of engineering culture at LexisNexis Legal & Professional. Emili is an example of what is possible when organisations invest in women in technology. YS explores what made her pivot from corporate responsibility to technology, how she feels about her career change, what enabled it and the satisfaction she derives from it.

Some people are blessed with good health, others are not. But health is not just a factor of physical condition. There are many underlying community-wide social and economic conditions in which people are born, live and work that impact health outcomes. This is what is commonly referred to as social determinants of health. Taking these into account is critical to improving health outcomes. Advances in technology and use of data in healthcare are opening an era of ‘health renaissance’. In conversation with Josh Schoeller, Chief Executive Officer of the health care business of LexisNexis Risk Solutions and global president of Elsevier's clinical solutions, and with Shanker Kaul, managing director of Elsevier's health solutions in India, YS Chi explores what this means in practice in both the US, and in India where the wonderful ASHA workers, the female front-line workers are making an impact.

In this second episode, YS Chi explores the subject of Artificial Intelligence and Ethics, also sometimes called Responsible AI. Like any technology gaining prominence, there is both substance and fuzziness to be found in discussions around AI. There are also many grey areas that are sometimes presented as black and white. Vijay Raghavan, chief technology officer of LexisNexis Risk Solutions, explains how we look at Responsible AI and offers a helpful framework that differentiates real-world bias from data bias or algorithmic bias. Also in this episode, we hear from our first external podcast guest, Kirk Borne, chief science officer at DataPrime and one of the world's top artificial intelligence influencers. Kirk talks about how AI has evolved and the importance of transparency and human oversight. This podcast is brought to you by RELX .…

YS Chi asks Ian McDougall, general counsel of LexisNexis Legal & Professional and president of LexisNexis Rule of Law Foundation, if there's a Rule of Law crisis? And if so, how do we maintain trust, the glue that keeps it all together. In a further conversation, YS Chi talks to Alison Manchester, vice president of product management at LexisNexis Legal & Professional. In the context of a loss of confidence in the voting system in the US, Alison talks about the LexisNexis US Voting Laws and Legislation Center, a free resource that allows everyone to see first-hand all voting law activities that are happening at state and federal levels, without relying on rumour or social media.

Farmers and growers are at the forefront of what is perhaps the world’s biggest challenge. How do you feed a growing world population expected to reach 9.6bn by 2050 while available arable land is reducing and environmental constraints are increasing? How can we help the farmers and growers who put food on our plates? In this episode, YS Chi speaks with Graeme McCracken, managing director of Proagrica, a provider of connectivity and data-driven support solutions for the agriculture and animal health industries. Graeme believes the challenge is surmountable. He shares his insights into the vast amount of data that can be found in every element, from the individual seed type in the ground to soil types and yield. Combining these different data sets provides meaningful insights that can significantly help growers, farmers and the entire supply chain improve productivity, profitability and transparency, while also increasing sustainability. Here is a deep dive into the future of agriculture, from seed to field to fork. This podcast is brought to you by RELX .…

In this episode, YS Chi speaks with Márcia Balisciano, global head of corporate responsibility at RELX. Márcia joined RELX 18 years ago to establish a ‘global community programme’ which the then CEO thought would be a two-year gig. At the time, terms like ‘ESG’ (Environmental, Social and Governance) or ‘CR’ (Corporate Responsibility) hadn’t yet made it into the global conversation. 18 years later, RELX scores consistently at the top of ESG rankings. Márcia talks about the journey that has made this possible and explains what it means in practice to be a business that sees no trade-off between profitability and responsibility. We hear about her pioneering bottom-up approach to corporate responsibility, how RELX articulated its ‘Unique Contributions’, and about the free RELX SDG Resource Centre . But the work is never done and Márcia is now focused on the next challenge: meeting stringent carbon reduction targets. This podcast is brought to you by RELX .…
