Amir Konigsberg, Ph.D.

Amir Konigsberg is a technology entrepreneur, investor, and strategic advisor with a long-standing interest in finding tractable approaches to hard problems. He has spent over two decades seeding, building, and scaling products and ventures at the forefront of artificial intelligence, alongside a sustained research interest in the cognitive and epistemological foundations of intelligence, artificial and otherwise. He has built products at every layer of the stack and across several cycles of the industry. He joined Google as an early employee, working on strategy during a formative period for the company and the field. It set the trajectory of his work since. Amir has founded ventures serving enterprise, commerce, search, media, automotive, strategic defense, and code security, building products at the frontier of natural language understanding, video, social intelligence, recommender systems, and disinformation and manipulation detection. He has authored eighteen patents across these fields. He has always treated the technical and the human as one problem rather than two: technology built on the premise that machine intelligence should support human flourishing by enhancing individual capability and societal structures. He holds a PhD in rationality and interactive decision-making, and has worked at the intersection of cognitive psychology, epistemology, and the design of intelligent systems. He is a visiting professor and an advisor to leading private, public, and governmental organizations. His writing has appeared in the MIT Technology Review, the Harvard Business Review, Forbes, and academic and industry journals.
