Pulse of AI Podcast Season 6 Episode 140

On this podcast, one of the last episodes of season 6, I am joined by Subutai Ahmad, CEO of Numenta. Numenta is in many ways a uniquely Silicon Valley company. It was founded by tech luminaries and has spent the last 17 years doing deep neuroscience research with the goal of better understanding the brain so that those principles could be applied to AI. This work underpins and acts as a platform for their products, the first of which was just recently released.
