Episode notes

Fair is really about academic research. The scientists have total freedom to work on whatever they want. They're expected to publish by difficult and to publish papers about what they do. And then you had a second team called Applied Machine Learning, exam, AML. And this one was responsible for AI inside Facebook products. So it protects fair from getting too much involved with the product. I've been brilliant by machine learning at Facebook for 10 years.

Today, we’re excited to get to know Alexandre Lebrun, CEO and Cofounder of Nabla, a personalized AI assistant for doctors. Before founding Nabla, Alex was the Head of Engineering at Facebook AI research for almost four years, and is a seasoned entrepreneur, having sold his previous companies Wit.ai, an AI platform that makes it easy to build apps that understand natural human language, to Facebook in 2015 and VirtuOz, a customer service chatbot, to Nuance Communications in 2012.

In this episode, Alexandre shares his experiences after 22 years and founding 3 startups, why proprietary data is more important than ever for defensibility, tactics on GTM and customer focus specific to healthcare buyers, and opportunities and safety for generative AI in healthcare.
