Welcome to the Season 1 finale of the Work In Progress Podcast! This week’s guest is TKS Alumni Alishba Imran, a 17 y/o machine learning developer and engineer. She’s worked with Sofia the Robot, she’s a CES Innovator to Watch, and she’s published a paper with David Hanson (of Hanson Robotics).

We talk to her about:

  • VoltX, her AI startup that’s accelerating energy storage testing
  • The machine learning intricacies of robot hand-holding
  • Separating the fluff from the meaningful in the field of AI

We also cover risk-taking, why being young is a superpower, and the future of AI + robotics.
