Amir Konigsberg, Ph.D.

I am an AI executive, entrepreneur and researcher working at the intersection of emerging technology, business and intelligent systems.

Over the past two decades, I have built and led technology companies, businesses and research initiatives across search, artificial intelligence, autonomous systems, generative AI and neurotechnology. I have served as a founder and CEO, President and Chair, and held senior roles at leading startups and scaleups, as well as at Google and General Motors.

My current work focuses on the challenges and safety risks created by the increasing autonomy and capability of intelligent systems.

Much of my career has taken place when specific technological advancements were in the early stages of finding their commercial form. At Google, this meant Search and the expansion of the commercial internet as we know it today. At General Motors, it meant AI, human–machine interaction and autonomous driving systems. At Twiggle, the focus was on natural-language understanding. At CodeScan, on code analysis and software intelligence. At Hour One, generative AI applied to video. At SONA, closed-loop nervous system regulation.

Across these different contexts, the questions have often been similar: What is changing? Where will meaningful value emerge? What needs to be built? And what kind of organization do we need in order to build it? My work has moved between strategy, product, research, commercialization and organization building. Read more → About.
