Ilya Sutskever

Ilya Sutskever is a thought leader in AI, having revolutionised computer vision, machine translation and robotics. Co-founder and Chief Scientist at OpenAI, he is one of the masterminds behind the era-changing ChatGPT and is co-inventor of DeepMind’s AlphaGo and Google Brain’s Tensor Flow. On a mission to create AGI to benefit humanity, Ilya is one of the leading figures in the AI domain. Now highly sought after for speaking engagements, he shares his ground-breaking insights in computer vision, natural language processing, neural networks, and deep learning.

Raised in Jerusalem, Ilya enrolled at The Open University of Israel to study Computer Science. He then moved to Canada and transferred to the University of Toronto, earning a bachelor’s degree in Mathematics and a PhD in Computer Science. Supervised by the godfather of AI, Geoffery Hinton, on his PhD, Ilya co-invented the AlexNet, a convolution neural network, with the accomplished professor. In 2012, the talented Computer Scientist completed a postdoc with Andrew Ng, founder of the Google Brain project, at Stanford University.

He returned to work with Geoffrey Hinton at DNNResearch, then joined Google as a Research Scientist after they acquired the company. For three years, he worked on the Google Brain project developing profound expertise before co-founding OpenAI with Elon Musk and Sam Altman. As a prominent figure at OpenAI, Ilya has worked on cutting-edge technology, including ChatGPT, GPT-4 and DALL.E2. He is also the inventor of sequence-to-sequence learning.

For his notable contributions to computer vision and natural language processing, Ilya has received several accolades, such as being named in MIT Technology Reviews 35 Innovators Under 35, Time 100 Most Influential People in AI and elected Fellow of the Royal Society. Paving the way for AGI, Ilya’s work will shape the future of humanity. In his speaking engagements, he shares his vision for the future, revealing his pioneering contributions to AI, deep learning, and machine learning. The perfect speaker for AGI, Ilya Sutskever, is now available to hire.
