Robert LoCascio, cofounder of LivePerson, has been promoting his new company uare.ai, which he said he started about two years ago. He described the company as building individual artificial intelligence models trained on a single person's data, rather than large models trained on aggregated data. LoCascio said the company has raised $10 million and has thousands of people on a waiting list. He also mentioned a related product called Kidco.ai, described as a device for children. In interviews, LoCascio criticized the business model of large AI companies, stating that they "monetize it on your behalf without even asking you" and that "the problem with those large models, they're large." He argued that "it should be small models, people owning their knowledge, their intelligence, being credited for that intelligence." LoCascio also discussed his personal approach to leadership, saying "the two deadliest things of founders is certainty and control" and that "the CEO of this business is God like there's a CEO above you."
