When artificial intelligence goes up against human judgment with a million dollars on the line, what happens? That question sits at the center of the conversation when Alan Levy joined Sean Kelly on the Digital Social Hour. Levy, the founder of 4C Predictions, brings a rare blend of entrepreneurial experience and deep technical thinking to the table — having built businesses across continents before turning his focus to AI-powered forecasting.
The episode moves from the mechanics of predictive modeling to the bigger questions surrounding AI's expanding role in human decision-making. It's a conversation that covers sports analytics, financial markets, and the philosophical frontier of self-improving AI — all grounded in the practical work Levy has done building tools that put data in the hands of everyday people.
