#052 - Beyond Chatbots: Real World AI Decisions With Max Sebti from Score

In this episode of Gaea Talks, host Graeme Scott sits down with Max Sebti, Co-Founder and CEO of Score, to explore how AI moves beyond chatbots and into real-world decision systems.Using elite football as a case study, Max explains how his team built a fully automated vision AI system capable of annotating an entire match in under two minutes — more accurately than human analysts. From there, the conversation expands into one of sport’s biggest unsolved challenges: how to objectively measure and translate player performance across leagues, regions, and tactical systems in a scalable, non-biased way.But this discussion goes far beyond sport. Together, they examine why framing the right business problem matters more than model accuracy, how hedge fund principles apply to AI and performance modelling, the risks of centralised AI systems trained on the same datasets, and the ethical implications of data labelling at scale. They also explore the intersection of AI and energy, the future of decentralised systems, and what all of this means for leadership, productivity, and the future of work.This is a conversation about leverage, transparency, and how to think strategically about AI in the real world. If you’re building, leading, investing, or competing in an AI-shaped economy, this episode offers a clear and grounded perspective on where the true opportunities and risks lie.The GAEA Talks podcast series to brought to you by GAEA AI https://gaealgm.ai
