S1 | E18 | Transforming Industries with Human-Centered AI Solutions with Calvin Gerus - Borealis AI

This is Episode 18 of the ThinkData podcast in partnership with Dataworks and in this episode, I had the pleasure of speaking with Calvin Gerus.

Calvin is the Director of Product at Borealis, the AI research arm of the Royal Bank of Canada.

He started his career as an electrical engineer in 2007, and since then, he has gone on to build AI and Data teams for the likes of Autodesk, Foresee, and Allocadia.

We discussed -

  • What brought him from a career in electrical engineering to now leading research projects within Artificial intelligence
  • Who Borealis is, and what type of projects & use cases are they working on
  • What is behind the rapid rise in the adoption of LLM’s for organizations and product companies alike?
  • How are startups within the Gen AI space going to create products that ultimately stand out?
  • What sectors will be impacted the most by AI and what sectors will ultimately see job cuts and jobs being replaced by AI and Automation?
  • What is next for AI?

Calvin is both technically astute, commercially aware, and highly passionate about this space. This is a must-listen-to anyone interested in the more technical side of AI and what we can look forward to in the upcoming months.
