Choose the right perspective
Match the person's partnership area to your question, since product and distribution partners, science and research collaborations, data partnerships and impact programs each involve different terms. Check whether the person is current or former and when they held the role, since partnership work at the lab several years ago can differ from the work today.
Questions to take into the conversation
- 01How does an AI lab decide which companies and institutions to partner with on research?
- 02What does a partner need to bring for a product or distribution partnership with an AI lab to move forward?
- 03How do partnerships teams work with research teams when a collaboration involves data or scientific results?
