  • Summary: «Utkarsh Amitabh says he definitely wasn’t in the market for a new job in January 2025, when data labeling startup micro1 approached him about joining its network of human experts who help companies train artificial intelligence models. [..] The U.K.-based, 34-year-old entrepreneur already had a busy schedule as an author, university lecturer, founder and CEO of global mentorship and careers platform Network Capital, and student working toward a Ph.D. at the University of Oxford’s Saïd Business School. He also had a newborn at home, he tells CNBC Make It. [..] Ultimately, Amitabh agreed to take on the added role, admitting that “intellectual curiosity drew me in,” he says. The prospect of training enterprise AI models felt like a perfect fit with his own background in “business strategy, financial modeling and tech,” he adds.»
