Chetan Dube

Chetan Dube has served as the President and CEO of Amelia, an IPsoft Company, since its inception in 1998. During his tenure, he has led the company to create a radical shift in the way IT is managed. Dube is a mathematician and prior to joining Amelia, he served as an Assistant Professor at New York University.

Chetan Dube is a widely recognized speaker on autonomics, cognitive computing and the future impact of a digital workforce. He serves on the board of numerous IT-related institutions. In 2017, he was listed as one of the Nine Greatest AI minds in the world to keep an eye on by Forbes. He is also a distinguished member of the Forbes Technology Council.

He was born 1966 in Bhagalpur, India, and raised in Paris and London. Dube earned a degree in electrical engineering from IIT Delhi and then came to the U.S. to pursue a doctorate in theoretical computer science at the Courant Institute of Mathematical Sciences of New York University (NYU).

While at NYU, he began exploring the Artificial Intelligence principles and philosophies that form the basis of the Amelia platform. Dube was fascinated by the Turing enigma, which examines whether machines can think. As opposed to narrow AI (where non-sentient programs are focused on narrow tasks), Dube’s research has focused on deep AI. He pioneered the use of AI-enabled digital labor across industries. He’s been awarded several U.S. patents for developing cognitive models, and EY recognized him as "Entrepreneur of the Year" for leading research in AI emulating human thinking and approaching the Turing horizon.

Dube envisions a world where humans and machines work closely together to build a radically more efficient planet.
