AI's real question isn't whether AGI arrives
Notes de l’épisode
Ahmad Al-Dahle has been at the center of some of the biggest technology and societal shifts of the past two decades. He helped develop the early iPhone at Apple, spearheaded the open-source Llama models at Meta to help decentralize AI power and influence, and now serves as CTO of Airbnb, where he's using AI to help people spend more time in the real world.
In this episode of The Deep View Conversations, we sat down with Ahmad to discuss Airbnb's vision for AI, why he believes AGI is coming, how AI agents are revolutionizing executive workflows, and why technology should ultimately help people spend less time with technology and more time having human experiences.
