The Outliers 11: From child prodigy to AI champion, the second coming of Tanmay Bakshi
The last time I met Tanmay Bakshi, the world's youngest IBM Watson programmer at 13, he was just a child prodigy. Our conversation in June last year, which resulted in this video that now has over 2,00,000 views on YouTube, was mostly about things that child prodigies are made of -- learning to code early, stardom, and so on. Nine months later, last Tuesday, I got on a call with Bakshi to record this episode of Outliers, and I was blown away. He still sounds the same -- one word tumbling upon another, yet each emphasised with great passion. This time though, he seems to have found a new life mission, and some serious new questions for himself to answer.
