Jan Koutnik “Czeched out” in 2009 to improve recurrent neural networks and scale evolutionary reinforcement learning as a postdoc at IDSIA. At NNAISENSE, he directed the division of the company responsible for the “learning to park” NeurIPS 2016 demo with Audi, the “learning to run” NeurIPS competition win in 2017, and the Festo Softhand in-hand manipulation demo at Hannover Messe in 2019. We take a brief look back with Jan Koutnik at his time at NNAISENSE and the beginnings of Industrial AI. Then we switch to the present. Jan explains his Industrial AI approach, why he doesn't realize GenAI use cases and where he sees the sweet spot for himself and his new company. Spoiler: It's all about vision systems. Thanks for listening. We welcome suggestions for topics, criticism and a few stars on Apple, Spotify and Co.
