The Founder's Foyer with Aishwarya Ashok #29 Chasing creative pursuits | Tech, fiction writing & filmmaking | AI ethics ft. Abigail Wen [Tech Lead, Author, Filmmaker]
There’s so much in parallel with tech and art—for instance, innovation starts with small steps, iteratively leading up to radical explorations. A lot of people today blend creative arts together with the principles grounded in ethics and emerging tech. To be at the intersection of all of this creativity and build versatile careers across entertainment media, business, and law, only teaches us that anything is just a step away from learning afresh. Abigail Hing Wen has mastered technology and storytelling, formerly leading emerging AI tech at Intel. She is a New York Times Best Selling Author, a media producer and filmmaker too. She writes and speaks about tech, AI ethics, women's leadership, and transforming culture.
