    AI’s journey from the lab to the marketplace

    24/12/2025 | 25 mins.

    The AI boom wouldn’t have been possible without decades of academic research. And now that huge sums of money are flowing into R&D, it’s companies – not just universities – on the cutting edge of AI innovation. What does that mean for the future of AI research and the relationship between industry and academia? Rana sat down with a panel of experts who have a foot in both worlds, in another standout session from the stage of Fortune Brainstorm AI in San Francisco. Anima Anandkumar (Caltech, formerly Nvidia), Daphne Koller (Stanford, founder/CEO of insitro), and Raquel Urtasun (University of Toronto, founder/CEO of Waabi) share how research expertise goes hand in hand with business innovation, especially around AI’s ability to more accurately model the physical world.
