S1 E14 Michael Stoppelman (Former SVP of Engineering, Yelp) - Behind the Scenes of AI Innovation

Mike shares his journey at Google in 2003 when the company was still a relatively small start-up with around 1,000 employees. Rohan and Mike talk about the parallels between the rapid development we’re seeing now in AI and those early days at Google… the energy among builders, the possibility of whole new markets, and industries being created. Other topics they chat about: (a) Value capture: how can B2B AI startups effectively compete with incumbents and capture value, (b) AI safety: what does “responsible” use of AI even mean?
