In particular, Khan called for AI models' weights to be publicly available. In the age of AI, Khan said both consumers and enterprises are uncertain of their data's protections when using foundation models. "We only focus on deals that have problems…it's a narrow set of deals that satisfy a narrow set of criteria." In March, Microsoft paid $650 million in a licensing deal to Inflection AI, an emerging OpenAI rival, to use its AI models and hire most of its employees.

But he said older VCs he's interacted with mostly tend to disagree and stick to emails when interacting with founders. Nathwani strayed into venture capital after finishing his A-Levels, as it looked like a good way to marry his interests in social impact and investing. He spoke with a few investors and a founder as part of his job as a summer associate at Social Impact Capital. He spent most of the morning working on an impact report for Social Impact Capital. 2:30 p.m.Nathwani used some time after lunch to do more work for Social Impact Capital and wade through his 30,000 unread emails.
