AI is no longer confined to software dashboards and chat interfaces, it is increasingly embedded into physical products, devices, and systems. What changes when intelligence moves from the cloud into real-world hardware?
This week’s VentureFuel Visionary is Tinku Malayil Jose, Head of the Vertical Technology Office for HiTech at Quest Global. He has more than 20 years of experience building complex products, from smart TVs and streaming platforms to automotive systems and IoT. He also operates at the intersection of silicon, software, and real-world application.
In this episode, we ask Tinku to break down the shift from AI hype to reality, explaining why the future of AI isn’t just software, it’s embedded in physical products, devices, and systems. He also shares what’s driving the rise of “AI appliances” and why purpose-built, domain-specific solutions are increasingly outperforming general-purpose approaches.
