Originally working at Apple on the next generation of machine learningAli Farhadi, will now join the Allen Institute of Artificial Intelligence (AI2014), a nonprofit organization founded by the late Microsoft co-founder Paul Allen in 2, and serve as CEO.
Prior to this, Ali Farhadi founded the artificial intelligence startup Xnor.ai in 2017, which was acquired by Apple for $2020 million in 2. He then joined Apple to be responsible for machine learning related research.
Earlier, Ali Farhadi actually worked at the Allen Institute for Artificial Intelligence as a research manager. At the same time, Xnor.ai, which he founded, was originally an internal project of the Allen Institute for Artificial Intelligence, and later operated independently.
Ali Farhadi emphasized that artificial intelligence at this stage must operate in an open and transparent manner and be accessible to everyone fairly. He will also continue to build the next generation of artificial intelligence technology based on this concept.
Apple's current machine learning and artificial intelligence technology is led by a former Google executiveJohn giannandreaLed the development, but it has undergone many reforms and reorganizations during this period. Many employees even believe that the company's practices tend to be conservative and it is difficult to retain technical talents, which has relatively limited the development of artificial intelligence technology applications.
