AI Link

What an incredible AI Link event held at SVB Experience Center in San Francisco! It was truly inspiring to connect with so many leaders and innovators in the emerging tech space. I had the pleasure of meeting some brilliant minds like Andrew Ng, Linda Lee, Joseph (Joe) Salesky, Seamus McAteer, Josh Vorick, Tom Nix, Ren Yeong Sng, Elliot Kroo, Pracheer Gupta, Susan Morrow, and many more. The energy and forward-thinking ideas in the room were palpable. It’s a great reminder that together, we can responsibly build a future powered by AI, ensuring we use these groundbreaking tools for good. Here’s to pushing the boundaries of innovation while upholding the highest standards of ethics and responsibility!

I recently had the honor of speaking to the AI Fund's AI Link community about recruiting technical teams in a fireside chat format. If you'd like to watch, the full recording of the conversation is now available. https://lnkd.in/gYEViHfv #ai #recruitment #startups

Lei Wu and I had a great time this evening connecting with fellow entrepreneurs. The highlight of the evening was meeting with Andrew Ng, who has inspired millions of us, and millions of us have learned from him, thanks for building Coursera. It was very inspiring to see so many people building #ai products that will make a difference in the society. We are proud of Realix AI as well because of our mission to improve workplace, #leadership, and #employee #wellbeing. Thanks AI Fund AI Link for arranging the event and inviting us. We enjoyed coming from #Chicago and #Boston to meet with many of you. #inspiring #gratitude #entrepreneurs
