Amir Konigsberg has founded and led AI products and companies for over two decades, while maintaining a parallel life as a researcher, inventor, professor, strategic advisor, and writer on the cognitive and epistemological foundations of intelligence, artificial and otherwise. He was an early employee at Google, which was formative for his career, and has since founded several companies — spanning B2B enterprise, commerce, advertising, strategic defense, and code security — advancing innovation in search, natural language processing, video, social intelligence, and disinformation detection, authoring eighteen patents along the way. He has built organizations from scratch and run them at scale, across several cycles of the industry. He has always kept one foot in academia and research. He holds a PhD in rationality and interactive decision-making and has worked on questions in cognitive psychology and epistemology — common knowledge, disagreement, and belief formation — and how that body of work maps, uncomfortably closely, onto the hardest open problems in AI. 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. He is available for advisory roles, research collaboration, and select board positions.
