Building Sentience...

Vinayak

I am a scientist by training so I like to ask lot of questions and I am a fan from first principles thinking. I loved programming since I was 5 and have built algorithms and systems working collaboratively with biologist, chemist, scientists and automation engineers to reliably scale measurement of biological systems (mostly human DNA) and predicting propensity for disease. Outside work, I love the outdoors and playing and following team sports.

Tarin

I am working on tackling robotics and AI by throwing out almost all of the existing paradigms. Instead, I want to develop and refine ideas around artificial life, virtual biology, etc. This will draw heavily on simulations, and biological principles. Furthermore, I am seeking to stand up a new type of organization to do this, a cross between a venture-studio, research-lab, and a traditional start-up.
