Microsoft has hired recent former Allen Institute for Artificial Intelligence CEO Ali Farhadi.
Farhadi is listed in Microsoft’s internal system with the title corporate vice president. Farhadi will work under Mustafa Suleyman, who recently started an in-house AI team at the company.
Farhadi stepped down earlier this month as Ai2 CEO, where he worked to make AI research open and accessible to the public. He’s was a cofounder of Xnor.ai, an on-device AI model startup that Apple acquired for $200 million.
