​The Campbell Center for Entrepreneurship at Columbia University invites you to a special conversation between Chris Wiggins (CC’93), Head of Machine Learning and AI Science at CNN, and Jeff Witten (CC’10, CBS’15, LAW’15), Co-Founder and CEO of Sheer Health.

​Chris and Jeff will explore how founders, including those without technical backgrounds, can build with and embed AI into their startups.
