AI is disrupting every industry — impacting decision making, accelerating execution velocity, increasing throughput, and ultimately differentiating performance. Investment decisions are built on signal analysis and pattern recognition; in venture capital, these challenges are compounded by the need for quick action on sparse and often imperfect data. In the age of AI, we hear about outsized valuations, "heat scores" for companies "about to break through," and "celebrity founders." How are today's VCs using AI to navigate this landscape?

Join Cornell's Lutz Finger in conversation with Lila Tretikov, one of the rare leaders operating at the intersection of large-scale platforms, AI strategy, and global transformation. Lila previously served as CEO of the Wikimedia Foundation (Wikipedia) and later as Deputy CTO of Microsoft, driving AI transformation. Today, she is Partner and Head of AI Strategy at NEA (New Enterprise Associates), one of the world's most influential venture capital firms.
