Last year, we celebrated 10 years of investing in people building businesses powered by visual tech & AI, but it’s just the beginning! Visual technology innovations will continue to be the crux of automation for decades and beyond. Computer vision, machine learning and AI will be the key enablers for innovation in healthcare, precision medicine, manufacturing, construction, agriculture, sustainability, and many more industries.
Meet Ty Ahmad-Taylor, VP of Monetization at Snap. Ty’s background: 32 years in information design, 26 years in consumer-facing software and product development leadership, and 25 years in interactive television services development. He has worked at four startups (one went public, and the other three were acquired), and at large social, media, and consumer electronic companies.
In the fireside chat with LDV’s Evan Nisselson, he shared his views on three things that every CEO should do, inclusive teams, systems thinking, and an exclusion filter that could make our experience of using social media so much better! Evan and Ty also touched on ideas ripe for AI automation, machine learning algorithms that make TikTok successful, and the mixed reality environment that’s coming soon.
Our fifth annual LDV Vision Summit was fantastic, a giant thank you to everyone who came and participated in making it another spectacular gathering.
We couldn’t do it without you, YOU are why our annual LDV Vision Summit is special and a success every year. Thank you!
