It sounds like you’re biased against academics. Not only did Hinton develop some of the fundamental ideas behind AI (winning the Turing award) but also one of his PhD students is now the CTO at OpenAI.
- areyousure 3y agoIn case anyone is curious, this appears to refer to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ilya_Sutskever https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ilya_Sutskever who was a PhD student of Geoffrey Hinton's and is now Chief Scientist at OpenAI. The CTO at OpenAI is https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mira_Murati https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mira_Murati who does not have a PhD.
- edgefield 3y agoSorry, you’re correct. Chief scientist not CTO.
- thundergolfer 3y agoWow the CTO of OpenAi seems to have ~1 yr of hands on engineering experience, followed by years of product and people management, That’s unexpected. I thought the CTO was Brockman.
