The Real Magic of AI with Microsoft's David Catuhe

David Catuhe is the creator of Babylon.js, a powerful real time 3D engine using a JavaScript library, and has worked for Microsoft for over 12 years, both as an engineering lead and now as a Partner Group Engineering Manager, leading hundreds of people, with the Babylon.js team being his main priority.

He sat down with longtime friend Fred Brunel, Co-founder and CTO of Mission, for a casual but deeply insightful chat on AI and the ever-evolving role of the engineer. As Microsoft is one of the key companies developing and using AI currently, this conversation is a can't-miss window into the latest and most exciting aspects of this paradigm shifting technology.
