Why Hims & Hers turned to the autonomous vehicle industry to find an AI-savvy CTO | TechCrunch
Briefly

Hims & Hers, a telehealth company, has appointed Mo Elshenawy as its new Chief Technology Officer. Elshenawy, previously associated with Cruise, aims to drive the company's AI-based product innovation. CEO Andrew Dudum emphasized the importance of seeking leaders from the autonomous vehicle sector for their expertise in high-stakes decision-making in regulated environments. Elshenawy believes the transition from autonomous vehicles to healthcare is not as drastic as perceived, since both fields deal with sensitive data, trust, and critical decision-making regarding people's lives.
I was looking very much at leaders in the autonomous driving space, explicitly because you're talking about leveraging technology and data and AI in an extremely high-sensitive environment where you have people's lives at risk.
Self-driving cars use AI to make real-time decisions in complex, high-stakes and heavily regulated environments, where earning trust is everything. Healthcare operates under the same conditions.
