I have wanted to create a podcast featuring AI leaders and Innovators over the last 3 years. I finally got around to doing it. Thanks to all the leaders around the world who have graciously accepted my invite to be on my podcast. The objective of the podcast is to give the audience a close up view of how these leaders got to where they are, what ideas are they working on now, and what AI trends they foresee. This podcast is intended to be about informal conversations with AI leaders and innovators across the world in all industries ranging from healthcare, banking, insurance, energy, transportation, tech, and consulting. For those of you who take public transport like me or those that drive, this podcast could be a fun and informative way to spend those 30 mins. Enjoy these informal conversations and give me suggestions on who you would like to hear from next.
