In this episode of AI-Curious, we dive deep into the muck of the global waste crisis and explore whether artificial intelligence can be the solution. Joining us is Ambarish Mitra, co-founder and co-CEO of Greyparrot, a groundbreaking AI startup transforming the recycling industry. We unpack the challenges of recycling today, the inefficiencies in traditional waste management systems, and how AI-powered solutions can help divert up to 50% of waste from landfills.

Ambarish shares his journey from building a visual search engine to tackling the “shadow world” of post-consumption waste. He explains how Greyparrot’s AI-driven technology brings precision to waste sorting, earning it the moniker, “the iPhone of the waste world.” The conversation highlights the carrot-and-stick approach needed to drive adoption, the role of government policies, and the economic incentives for waste facilities.

If you’re curious about how technology intersects with environmental sustainability—or simply want to know how your recycling bin’s contents actually fare—this episode is a must-listen.
