Magic and AI, Siri and Bixby, Social Justice with Adam Cheyer | Stories in AI

Listen to this 'magical' conversation with Adam Cheyer. Adam is the reason we speak to our phones today. He founded two companies that built the most popular voice-based AI assistant in our pockets and home devices - one created Siri (acquired by Apple) and the other founded Bixby (Viv Labs acquired by Samsung). We break down a lot of amazing topics in this podcast including AI, magic, social justice, and much more. Take a listen, and I hope you enjoy it as much as I did. 

 

Adam Cheyer helped start four successful companies in recent years. He was the co-founder of the voice assistant Siri, which he eventually sold the technology to Apple. He also co-founded Viv Labs, another ai assistant, which they eventually sold off to Samsung to help create Bixby. He also helped launch Sentient, a widely distributed machine learning software, and Change.org, the largest petition platform in the world. Besides his career in technology, Adam is a highly awarded magician who has performed all over the country for large crowds. Adam has authored more than 60 publications and 38 patents. He has a bachelor's degree in computer science from Brandeis University and a master's degree in computer science and artificial intelligence from UCLA. Learn more at http://adam.cheyer.com/
