    Let's Talk about AI with Etienne Bernard, CEO at NuMind

    Today, I am starting something new. I invited Etienne Bernard, CEO at Numind, and we talked about AI, NLP, and being an entrepreneur between the US and France. Here is the recording of that conversation: Subscribe to the YouTube channel if you are interested in seeing more of this kind of content! Etienne Bernard is an expert in AI & machine learning, author of Introduction to Machine Learning, and founder and CEO of NuMind - a startup developing a tool to create custom NLP models. Previously, Etienne was head of machine learning at Wolfram Research for 7 years, where he led the development of machine learning tools and applications. He holds a Ph.D. in statistical physics from ENS and did a postdoc at MIT. Additionally, in the following weeks/months, I will organize multiple mentoring events with a few people (~5) who have questions about Machine Learning and their careers. I would like to record those events and turn them into podcasts. Are you interested in participating as a guest? In the past, I have helped many people in their careers, and I wish I could have recorded those conversations because they would have helped many other people! That is what I would like to achieve with those podcasts! I expect those podcasts to be free-form such that we can have exciting conversations. If you prefer, your name can remain anonymous during the event. The audio and video of those events will be recorded to be distributed as a podcast on multiple social media platforms such as YouTube.
