Show Notes

Meet Ethan, lead researcher and co-founder at Leonardo, who shares his journey from pre-med student to AI pioneer. After discovering text-to-image AI generation in 2022, Ethan went from running early models that took an hour per image to helping build a cutting-edge AI research company. He discusses the challenges of working with AI models, shares insights on the future of creative AI tools, and explains Leonardo's vision for multimodal AI systems that can seamlessly work with text, images, and audio.  From managing global research teams to advancing AI research, Ethan offers a candid look at the rapidly evolving world of AI development.
