I had the opportunity to share our AI Proctoring at 4YFN26 – Infinite AI.
💥 Great conversations with founders, investors, and operators pushing AI from experimentation to real-world impact.

Big takeaway: AI must move beyond dashboards to drive real clinical decisions built on trust, safety, and patient-first design. With preventive health and behavioral data rising, the convergence of consumer health, biotech, and AI will redefine how care is delivered.

We, @qlay_ai, had a great time joining as co-hosts for our Fireside Chat on “AI in Healthcare,” alongside an inspiring group of founders and healthcare leaders.

We just had an amazing day with CES 2026 - one of the world’s biggest tech stages.
Especially, we took the stage and shared our AI proctoring solution to educators, enterprises, and tech leaders.

Aliisa also walked us through:
✅ The early GTM hurdles OpenAI faced, and how they broke through.
✅ What it really meant to sell AI before the world knew it needed AI.
✅ Hard-earned lessons in trust-building, adoption, and scaling a new product category.

It was inspiring to see so much energy around innovation, ethical AI, and the future of work, and we’re proud to be part of the conversation.
Thank you to the organizers and everyone we met. Onward to building smarter, fairer hiring technology. 💡

“Assistance” becomes “cheating”.
Just published my latest @Forbes article on a concern: What really happens when candidates use AI during technical interviews?
Remote tests are exposing challenges.

hi! we just launched SF + LA Tech Week and it’s crazy to say (I know I say this every time) but it really is true - it’s the biggest one yet. we’ve broken more records and now have 1,500+ events, over 2x last year’s launch!
SF Tech Week: Oct 6-12
LA Tech Week: Oct 13-19

SF is on fire, on track to be home to the biggest Tech Week. When we first started @Techweek_, it was right after COVID, and we saw so many founders relocating outside the Bay Area to cities all over the US. That first year, SF Tech Week was actually the smallest. This year, it’s set to be the largest. We’ve doubled the number of SF events at launch year over year, a clear signal showing just how much the AI wave is fueling the city’s growth. And this is shaping up to be *the* week for tech in the city.
LA was home to the very first Tech Week, and it’s special for me to see how much it’s grown. What makes LA unique is the mix of industries here. We’re seeing two in particular take off - AI in entertainment and deep tech. The best part is how the ecosystem really comes together around Tech Week to champion the city, with so many LA investors and GPs hosting.
One of the biggest pieces of feedback we’ve heard from attendees is that now that Tech Week has gotten so big, we need more ways to discover events most relevant to you. So, this year we’ve put together curated tracks: future of work in SF, entertainment in LA, investor-focused events, hard tech, fintech, hackathons, and more.

I published an article on Forbes today: “Hiring in the Age of AI: The Battle Against Cheaters.”
As AI gets more powerful, some applicants are using it as a cheat code, from AI-written answers to deepfaked interviews.
