Episode description

On this episode of Lead with AI, host Dr. Tamara Nall sits down with Mike Skura, whose AI model picked the top two Kentucky Derby finishers after just three days of learning. The Polish immigrant turned sports tech entrepreneur reveals how RaceOracle AI analyzes 600,000 historical races and updates odds every 10 minutes to help newcomers navigate the intimidating world of horse betting. Mike shares the $400,000 moment that sparked his vision, explains why a complete novice walked away with $1,700 using his platform, and discusses his bold prediction that artificial general intelligence already exists. Discover how machine learning is democratizing the "sport of kings" and making it accessible to anyone with a smartphone. Plus, Mike breaks down the ethics of AI-assisted betting and reveals his expansion plans into NASCAR and Formula 1 racing.
