Uber's CTO Praveen Neppalli Naga is speaking at StrictlyVC San Francisco on April 30. He'll be talking about what it takes to operate at scale when AI is in the mix.
The event is happening at the Sentro Filipino Cultural Center and kicks off TechCrunch's 2025 events lineup. Naga is joining what's already described as a stacked speaker roster.
This matters because Uber operates at massive scale, handling millions of rides and deliveries daily. Hearing how they're integrating AI into operations of that size gives a real world view beyond the hype.
If you're building with AI or thinking about enterprise deployment, insights from someone managing AI at Uber's scale are worth paying attention to. The gap between a demo and production at scale is where most AI projects struggle.
The timing is notable too. As companies move from AI experiments to actual implementation, operational challenges are becoming the bottleneck. Naga's perspective on navigating that transition could be valuable for anyone past the proof of concept stage.
