Alex Krizhevsky

As a Venture Partner with deep expertise in artificial intelligence, Alex focuses on applications of this emerging technology to a wide range of problems. A former member of Google Brain, Alex’s graduate work in machine learning has been among the most influential in the field. His CIFAR-10/100 datasets have become standard benchmarks. His 2012 paper on “AlexNet,” now with more than 51,000 citations, kick-started the artificial intelligence revolution that we are presently living through. In his spare time Alex enjoys learning to play piano and is trying to raise a well-adjusted kitten.
