Podcast: Keith Zubchevich — Unsupervised AI Is a Toddler Out Looking for a Job

Keith Zubchevich is President and CEO of Conviva, a global leader in real-time experience analytics and one of the sharpest voices on AI in the enterprise. Keith joined the company in 2008 as its fifth employee and took over as CEO in 2021. Before Conviva, Keith helped take Riverbed public and launched a storage networking line at Cisco that did $244 million in two years. For nearly two decades he has built alongside four PhD founders, including Databricks founder Ion Stoica, in a culture grounded in self-awareness and zero ego. We explore why AI agents need to be measured from the consumer's side rather than the system's, why AI is the first technology revolution that replaces people instead of upgrading them, and the high-slope hiring philosophy Keith applies to every role at Conviva.
