For much of his life, Zain Javaid, 19, wanted to be a quant. And for a while, he was one. But he got bored. Then, in 2022, ChatGPT was released and “I felt fundamentally excited in a way that I never had been before,” he told TechCrunch.
Those feelings only grew as AI technology advanced. He became particularly interested in the future of personal AI, he said. He’s predicting the need for a new class of consumer AI hardware and sees the potential for not just one company, but an entire ecosystem built around personal intelligence.
