Naveen Rao, Vice President of Artificial Intelligence at Databricks
Naveen recalls his journey to become a trained neuroscientist and how his PhD studies at Brown University informed his entrepreneurism in AI. We explore how he convinced venture capitalists to invest in hardware startups when it was out of fashion and why the first AI startup founders were often computational neuroscientists. We also learn how he became a serial entrepreneur after successfully selling multiple AI startups.
Finally, Naveen takes us on a deep dive into how AI has evolved and whether the current interest has any signs of a dot-com era bust.
