Ep 31: Steve Shwartz – Artificial Intelligence and the Future of Humans

Will intelligent robots eventually take over all of our jobs, or maybe the entire world? Artificial intelligence (AI) systems are modern technological marvels. Many of us are left wondering where it will all end as a result of its meteoric rise. However, Steve insists, “We don't have to worry about robots gaining power or taking over all of our occupations.” He joins the show to explain Artificial Intelligence in layman's terms, building on his unique experience as an early AI researcher and statistician.

He began his career by joining the Yale University faculty as a postdoctoral researcher in Computer Science. He co-founded Device42, one of the country's fastest-growing software companies, and was a founder or co-founder of three AI firms, including Esperant, which became one of the most popular business intelligence tools in the 1990s. He's also been a part of two successful Initial Public Offerings (IPOs) and multiple M&A exits.
