Shariq A. Salar, Founder & CEO of Atrean, joins Federico Ramallo for a philosophical conversation about AI, decision intelligence, and how we build. Atrean’s AI-native platform turns natural-language questions into instant, governed insights—bringing “lean intel & leaner ops” to investment teams and beyond. Together they explore non-determinism and creativity, vibe coding and rapid prototyping, why human abstraction still matters, and the shifting roles of juniors vs. seniors. They also tackle ethics (ownership of training data), social questions (loneliness and AI companions), and transhumanist ideas about identity and continuity—framed by the sci-fi stories that inspire today’s builders. A reflective, forward-looking dialogue on why we must build better intelligence—responsibly.
