Join Rupert Lion, Partner in Odgers' Technology Practice and Head of Scale Up Collective US, as he sits down with Anubhav Saxena, CEO of Chooch AI, to explore the cutting edge of visual AI and computer vision. From his early days in defense research to leading one of the most innovative AI companies today, Saxena shares how AI is evolving beyond text to interact with the physical world.

Anubhav highlights how breakthroughs in compute power, economic feasibility, and the rise of frontier models have propelled AI forward—moving beyond text-based systems to what he calls “world AI,” where intelligence is applied to physical vision and real-world tasks.

Looking ahead, Anubhav predicts that AI will accelerate the “circle of life” in technology—from offshoring to automation to intelligent onshoring. While humanoid robots may become more common, he stresses the importance of economic viability and human-centric design in shaping the future of AI.
