Founder and CEO at Frec

We are excited to announce Ahmad Al-Dahle, Meta's VP of GenAI, will be joining us at the Frec office for a fireside chat the evening of Thursday, May 30th. There are still a number of spots available. If you would like to join, please comment below or DM me here on LinkedIn. It’s an incredible privilege to host Ahmad, who I’ve known since our days studying at the University of Waterloo. I majored in software engineering; he studied computer engineering. Ahmad brings a wealth of knowledge and perspective about technology in general and AI in particular. Prior to Meta, he spent 16 years at Apple. Before he joined Apple officially, he had the extraordinary opportunity to work as an intern on the designs of the iPhone before it was announced. That happened because Waterloo has an internship program where students alternate each semester between classes and internships. I spent my time interning at Texas Instruments, AMD and Microsoft. Since joining Meta in 2020, Ahmad has been enmeshed in the world of generative AI. According to an article in The Information, he was tapped by Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg to lead the research and development of foundation models like Llama and products like Meta AI. We plan to ask Ahmad for his perspective on the speed and growth of gen AI and LLMs and how they might transform the financial services sector. What else should we ask him?
