Jason Corso, Voxel51

Today’s guest is Jason Corso, co-founder and Chief Science Officer at Voxel51 and professor of Robotics and Electrical Engineering & Computer Science at the University of Michigan. With over 20 years of experience in computer vision and nearly 150 published papers, Jason has been a driving force in advancing AI tools that have become increasingly relevant to manufacturing.  Voxel51 helps manufacturers bring visual AI applications from concept to the production floor—powering solutions for defect detection, predictive maintenance, and quality assurance. In this episode, we’ll dive into what it really takes to implement computer vision systems in manufacturing environments, from managing messy real-world data to unlocking smarter, more efficient operations through AI.  Jason graduated with honors in Computer Science from Loyola College and earned his master’s and doctoral degrees in Computer Science from Johns Hopkins University.
