Today’s guest is Risto Miikkulainen, VP of AI Research at Cognizant Advanced AI Labs. Since 2013, the team has focused on research, innovation and the development of advanced AI technologies that further the application of AI to surface opportunities and make better decisions, serving clients and the society at large. Coming together as the Cognizant Advanced AI Lab, the team remains committed to bridging science and the pragmatic application of AI, to foster a better, more productive and innovative future for businesses and society alike.
Risto’s current research focuses on methods and applications of AI in decision-making, particularly those based on neuroevolution, as well as neural network models of natural language processing and vision.
