About James H. Faghmous, PhD.
I’ve worked in AI since it was slow, inaccurate, and unglamorous (I have a signed first edition Machine Learning (1997) from Tom Mitchell — one of the ‘founders’ of machine learning). Since then, I have been an academic at Stanford University, Mount Sinai School of Medicine, and the University of Minnesota. I’ve also founded two successful companies and am the co-founder of the hardest startup ever: four wonderful children. I have built multiple data science teams from scratch and have advised top-tier VCs and startups on how to create value-adding AI. I love meeting and helping people.
