0:00Naveen Rao, co-founder and CEO of Unconventional AI, which is an AI chip startup best known for building and selling to deep tech companies.

0:09Naveen is kind of definitionally Outlier founder.

0:12When I came there, we had about a $20 million business, and it was, you know, seven or eight hundred million when I left.

0:17I don't think you really understand something until you can build it.

0:19Just because something is tried does not mean it's wrong.

0:21I'm the opposite of an AI team.

0:23I think AI is the next evolution of humanity.

0:26We need innovation on the hardware substrate to actually build true intelligence.

0:31Please welcome Naveen Rao.

0:44Hey, everyone.

0:45Great to be here.

0:47You know, switching gears a little bit to AI now, which you may have heard a little bit about.

0:52It's super exciting to be at this conference specifically because, as was said in the intro, I'm the opposite of a doomer.

0:58I think AI is one of the most transformational technologies that humanity has ever created and will enable us to get to that next level of evolution, which I'm here for.
