* Dario Amodei.Dario(opens in a new window)was one of the lead authors ofDeep Speech 2(opens in a new window), a speech system which achieved near-human performance on many speech tasks. He is also a main co-author of “Concrete Problems in AI Safety(opens in a new window)”, which highlights issues related to accidents in machine learning systems. Prior to OpenAI, he worked at Google Brain.
* Filip Wolski.Filip’s(opens in a new window)recent background is in “practical” modeling, having spent the last few years working in the high-frequency trading space. In the past he enjoyed problem-solving in programming competitions, and won theIOI(opens in a new window)andACM ICPC(opens in a new window).
* Jack Clark.Jack(opens in a new window)has spent the past few years writing about artificial intelligence and distributed systems, most recently at Bloomberg and BusinessWeek. His articles have covered technologies likememory networks(opens in a new window),image generation(opens in a new window), andreinforcement learning for robots(opens in a new window), and issues likediversity within AI(opens in a new window). As our Strategy and Communications Director, he will help with community outreach, policy, communications, and strategy.
* Scott Gray.Scott(opens in a new window)was previously an engineer atNervana Systems(opens in a new window)where he focused on optimizing the performance of deep networks on GPUs. Hisassembly-level optimizations(opens in a new window)for dense linear algebra and convolution remain the fastest available. When notwriting software(opens in a new window)he’s usually spending his time reading up on the latest research in neuroscience and related fields.

We’re also pumped to be working with the following people for a more limited period of time:
We’re also pumped to be working with the following people for a more limited period of time:
* Catherine Olsson.Catherine(opens in a new window)built OpenAI Gym’sREST API(opens in a new window), which has already attracted users inLua(opens in a new window),C++(opens in a new window),Java(opens in a new window), andRust(opens in a new window). She graduated with a perfect GPA in CS and Brain & Cognitive Science from MIT, and has extensive research experience incomputational neuroscience(opens in a new window)andpsychology(opens in a new window). Catherine has taughtprogramming and applied math(opens in a new window)for six years, including outreach to women and underrepresented minorities.
* Harri Edwards.Harri(opens in a new window)is a PhD student at the University of Edinburgh, where he is researching models that can quickly adapt to new situations bylearning to represent datasets(opens in a new window).
* Igor Mordatch.Igor(opens in a new window)is interested in optimal control, machine learning, and their applications to robotics, biomechanics, and neuroscience. His PhD was in automated discovery and learning of complex movementbehaviors(opens in a new window). He will join the faculty atCMU(opens in a new window)in September 2017.
* Taco Cohen.Taco(opens in a new window)is a PhD student working on applied and theoretical problems in representation learning. Most recently he invented group equivariant convolutional neural networks (G-CNNs(opens in a new window)), a generalization of CNNs that improves the statistical efficiency of these models by exploiting symmetries.
* Tambet Matiisen.Tambet(opens in a new window)is a PhD student from University of Tartu, Estonia. He previously worked as a software engineer and founded his ownstartup(opens in a new window). His recent projects range frommaking deep reinforcement learning agents cooperate(opens in a new window)to predicting a rat’s location from its brain activity. He also wrote anaccessible introduction to deep Q-learning(opens in a new window).
