AI at work
Joel Hellermark
Founder and CEO at Sana
Self-taught in code, Joel founded Sana in 2016 at the age of 19, convinced that AI would transform how people learn and work for the better. He believed in its potential long before the wave we're all experiencing now, and still believes the best is yet to come.
and Aneel Bhusri
Founder, Chair, and CEO of Workday
Very few people can claim to be at the center of the most defining shifts in enterprise software. Aneel is one of them. As co-founder of Workday, he pioneered HR and Finance's move to the cloud, and believes the era he helped build is now unlocking something much larger.
“This is the era of the polymath. Agentic AI lets us re-found our companies from the ground up.”

Geoffrey's thesis
Geoffrey Hinton
Nobel Prize laureate and computer scientist
Most researchers believed that machines needed to mimic the way humans reason in order to think. Geoffrey Hinton thought differently, and changed the course of history.

“I don’t think there’s anything about humans that, in the end, we won’t be able to build into AIs.”
