Vivek Kapoor is a technology evangelist and system integrator. He has spent almost two decades building software applications and doing infrastructure management. Understanding both software and hardware has given him a leverage over creating solutions that talk nicely to each other and are automated and reliable. He has always been fascinated about artificial intelligence, and in the early 2000s, inspired by a chatterbot called A.L.I.C.E, he built a voice activated bot called LISA which could do some basic tasks like checking weather or arithmetic calculations. Now, the technology landscape has changed exponentially, and he believes that we are moving into a very new and nascent artificial intelligence aware world. Building systems and having meta skills to build interfaces that can interact with machines will help us collectively mature as species. He is pretty excited about the change taking shape, and sharing information through courses his way of contributing back on what he learnt.
