"The biggest story in tech is AI's increasing capacity to take on tasks once reserved for human beings. But the agents driving that change aren't machines. They're humans-inventive, ambitious, enterprising ones. Our third annual roundup of some of the field's most intriguing players includes scientists and ethicists, CEOs and investors, big-tech veterans and first-time founders. These 20 innovators are tackling challenges from training tomorrow's AI models to speeding drug discovery to reimagining everyday productivity tools."
"Naeem Talukdar Cofounder and CEO, Moonvalley The rise of AI-generated actress Tilly Norwood may have been a stunt, but Hollywood is indeed embracing generative AI, a threat to those who owe their livelihoods to the movies. Still, AI could also expand a filmmaker's creative vision by creating ambitious scenes or effects too pricey to shoot, says Naeem Talukdar, CEO of the video-generation model developer Moonvalley."
Ambitious, inventive humans are the primary agents expanding AI into tasks once reserved for people. Twenty innovators span scientists, ethicists, CEOs, investors, big-tech veterans, and first-time founders. They tackle training future AI models, accelerating drug discovery, and reimagining everyday productivity tools. OpenAI shifted focus to power users—doctors, scientists, coders, and companies using its API—led by post-training research lead Michelle Pokrass. Rachel Taylor brought creative-director experience to product management, emphasizing control over script, intonation, and actor notes. Moonvalley CEO Naeem Talukdar views generative AI as both a threat and a way to realize ambitious, otherwise unaffordable film scenes.
