Episode notes
Stephen's Journey to AI
- Stephen Odaibo's path to AI included degrees in math, medicine, and computer science.
- He transitioned from an ophthalmology practice to founding Retina AI.
Data-Driven Science
- Traditional biological science sometimes feels arbitrary and less systematic than desired.
- Odaibo prefers data-driven approaches where conclusions are drawn more systematically.
Epiphany in Private Practice
- Odaibo had a realization that he needed private practice to pursue his academic goals.
- This freedom allowed him to explore finite group theory and later discover deep learning through his brother.
