Avi Veidman spent over 20 years in the IDF (Israel Defense Forces), leading multi-disciplinary teams in the use of AI, machine learning, and data science. One of his key projects involved developing systems that mapped the world with satellite images to spot adversaries from space. Upon retirement, he co-founded Nucleai with a couple of his former defense colleagues, believing that the AI technology they had seen and developed would be useful to a pathologist in tracking cancer.
