Alex Fink is co-founder of Otherweb Inc. – an AI company that helps people consume higher-quality information.

After 15 years of building perception systems (cameras, computer vision, that sort of thing), it dawned on Alex that the world doesn't need more cameras—we need BETTER information. That is how Otherweb was born.
