Well - On the one hand he used to work for OpenAI and Tesla.
On the other hand he used to work at OpenAI and Tesla.
F me if I do / F me if I don’t?
You don’t have to like him. He’s still regarded as one of the most capable and knowledgeable person in the AI space and a thought leader, so to most his words in that area will be listened to. There are almost zero other persons Apple could have hoped more for an endorsement from.
To be honest there’s not really much to go on in his Wikipedia page to judge whether he’s someone who’s opinion I should care about…
Hehe no it was actually surprisingly light when I looked it up, sorry for being lazy and just referencing it still.
He’s just one of the top 3-10 AI scientists in the world. If you want to start up a groundbreaking new AI research company, he’d probably be top 3 on your headhunting list. Anyone of Google, Microsoft, Meta, Apple, Tesla etc would hire him asap if he was available, probably as their new chief AI scientist.
But yeah, my whole title was fairly narrow in only making sense for people who already knew who he is. Maybe it would have made more sense to most if I just said “Top AI scientist endorses AI” or something. Uh, without abbreviating Apple Intelligence to AI I guess. I hate their naming on this.
