fast.ai: The Why, How, and Future of Democratizing ML
March 26, 2021
5:30 PM - 6:00 PM (30 minutes) - Coordinated Universal Time
For the first time ever, Jeremy Howard and Rachel Thomas, co-founders of fast.ai, sit down for a fireside chat explaining why they started fast.ai, how it progressed from classes to a software platform, the importance of community, and where they see the future direction of fast.ai. They also dive into the importance of first-principles problem solving and creativity, versus relying on throwing as much compute at the problem as possible.
