Back in October of 2016, Ron and Ed interviewed Professor Timothy Chou of Stanford about his books Cloud: Seven clear business models and Precision: Principles, Practices and Solutions for the Internet of Things. This time around we were pleased to get an update on his work and talk a bit more about AI and the recent explosion of interest around ChatGPT.

A Bit More About Timothy Chou…

Timothy Chou has been a leader in bringing enterprises to the cloud. In 2000 he returned to Oracle to become the first President of the company’s cloud computing business. While at Oracle he published the landmark book The End of Software, which predicted the rise of SaaS applications. He has been an advisor to many Silicon Valley startups and today serves as the Chairman of Alchemist Accelerator, focused on early stage enterprise software companies. He also serves on the public company board of Teradata.

Timothy has a parallel career in academics. He taught introductory computer architecture for 15 years at Stanford University. In 2006 he launched the first class on cloud computing, CS309A. The class has had over one hundred public company CEOs as guest lecturers.

He has come out of retirement to work on his last great project - the Pediatric Moonshot. The moon shot mission is to transform children's healthcare globally by creating real-time, privacy-preserving applications based on the data from 1,000,000 healthcare machines in all 500 children’s hospitals in the world. In the process he has founded Bevelcloud to build and deploy a decentralized, in-the-building edge cloud service, which is architected for AI applications in medicine.
