2025-12-24 | 25 mins.
The AI boom wouldn’t have been possible without decades of academic research. And now that huge sums of money are flowing into R&D, it’s companies – not just universities – on the cutting edge of AI innovation.

Rana sat down with a panel of experts who have a foot in both worlds, in another standout session from the stage of Fortune Brainstorm AI in San Francisco. Anima Anandkumar (Caltech, formerly Nvidia), Daphne Koller (Stanford, founder/CEO of insitro), and Raquel Urtasun (University of Toronto, founder/CEO of Waabi) share how research expertise goes hand in hand with business innovation, especially around AI’s ability to more accurately model the physical world.
