Kirk Borne Ph.D + ReMotive @ LAPIPA

Humanised Intelligence [Eng]

In this landmark episode, we sit down with Kirk D. Borne, one of the most respected and influential voices in the global data science and artificial intelligence community.
With a Ph.D. in Astrophysics from Caltech, Kirk was a key figure in the development and launch of the Hubble Space Telescope, serving on its core scientific team.
During his decade at NASA, he led pioneering work in large-scale data analysis—well before “big data” became a debate in any commercial industry, nevermind Media and Marketing.
He later transitioned from space science to the business world, taking on the role of Chief Data Scientist at Booz Allen Hamilton, where he advised Fortune 500 companies, government institutions, and academic organizations on how to unlock real value through data and advanced analytics. Recognized year after year among the world’s top data influencers, Kirk has helped shape the global conversation on algorithmic ethics, data culture, and AI strategy.
In this episode, we explore:

• His shift from astrophysics and government research to enterprise AI.
• The untapped potential of data in transforming business outcomes.
• How organizations can build truly data-driven cultures.
• The future of artificial intelligence—and why it must be guided by purpose, transparency, and ethics.

This is more than a conversation; it’s a deep, future-facing dialogue with someone who helped define the field.
Back in 2021, while most companies were just beginning to grasp the strategic power of data, ReMotive and LA PIPA IS LA PIPA—under the leadership of Alex Lawton—were already engaging in conversations with the world’s foremost experts in data science, artificial intelligence, and digital transformation.
In this historic episode, we speak with none other than Kirk Borne, one of the most important global voices in the data space.
