Which researcher, who co-authored the 2012 AlexNet paper, later became the Chief Scientist at OpenAI?

Show answer

Ilya Sutskever

Ilya Sutskever was a key architect of AlexNet, the neural network that famously won the 2012 ImageNet challenge and sparked the modern deep learning era. After his foundational work in computer vision, he co-founded OpenAI and served as its Chief Scientist, where he led the development of groundbreaking models like GPT-4. He is widely considered one of the most influential figures in transitioning AI from academic research to transformative global technology.
