Velchamy Sankarlingam, President of Product & Engineering at Zoom Video, delivered an invited guest lecture on April 1, 2024, discussing the company's values and technological developments. He stated that during the pandemic, Zoom's focus was on "fill[ing] wherever the gaps are" and prioritizing customers, describing it as "a moment of time where we need to show our values" rather than a business decision. Sankarlingam also commented on AI's role in healthcare, saying it "can never make like a clinical judgment" but can "bring more clinical focus to all the physicians and remove a lot of the overhead and the paperwork." Sankarlingam discussed Zoom's AI capabilities, including a "customer AI companion" that can integrate with other software to pull patient data and provide summaries. He predicted that by 2030, "a Zoom call will be able to do things much better than what you would be able to do in person." Reflecting on his personal values, he cited Dr. Abdul Kalam and Kamaraj as figures who "went against the tide," adding that he has left jobs when they did not align with his value system.
