Meet Joseph Kraus, Co-Founder and CEO of Radical AI, the company trying to reinvent a 150-year-old scientific process by building scientific AGI (Artificial general intelligence).
Why focus on small problems when AI has the potential to tackle the impossible? While many startup founders chase incremental improvements, Joseph and his team are choosing a very different path: using AI and autonomy to accelerate scientific discovery itself, starting with materials science.
In this interview, Joseph talks openly about the moments that shaped him. From serving in the National Guard to pursuing graduate research to learning what a true bias toward action looks like. He explains how Radical AI came together, why he believes the hardest problems matter the most, and what it takes to build a mission-driven team that is working on discoveries that could reshape the future of humanity.
This is more than a conversation about AI. It is a story about ambition, discipline, and the belief that you should never give up, even when you cannot see exactly where the path leads.
