Naveen Rao: 4D Computing, AI's Energy Wall & Beating Biology

Naveen Rao, co-founder and CEO of Unconventional AI, which is an AI chip startup. Best known for building and selling two deep tech companies. Naveen is kind of definitionally outlier founder. When I came there, we had about a $20 million business and it was, you know, $700 or $800 million when I left. I don't think you really understand something until you can build it.

Just because something is tried does not mean it's wrong. I'm the opposite of an AI doomer. I think AI is the next evolution of humanity. We need innovation on the hardware substrate to actually build true intelligence. Please welcome Naveen Rao.
