Amir Husain at the 9th Edition of the Future Investment Initiative
Husain joined industry leaders as part of FII's flagship panels on innovation, delving into critical topics shaping the future of technology and investment:
Panel 1: "How Does Deep Tech Survive Hype Cycles?"
- During the session, Husain noted: “I am a systems thinker, the way that I think about these problems is not to take some fashionable conception of elegance that may exist today and may change tomorrow… instead, wherever we live, wherever we are, in whatever state of technology that is available to us, the question should be: how can I apply this as a systems thinker to solve real problems that make real money right now?”

Panel 2: "Deb(AI)te: Round I - Do Models Truly Reason or Mimic Reasoning?"
- During the session, Husain noted: “ Capturing data in the real world when you can is very valuable… we have found that legacy data goes so far but when you fully want to develop a useful AI system there is an element of let the thing go out and learn and adapt.”
- A full replay of session can be found here.
