Dr. Amir Konigsberg works at the intersection of artificial intelligence and human cognition, building technology companies, conducting research, and writing about the consequences of artificial intelligence for how we think, what we believe, and how societies function. His upcoming book, Understanding Machines: AI and the Language of Mind, looks at the human consequences of natural language having become the primary computing interface, and the implications this has for human behavior, epistemology, development, and societal structures.
Amir is a repeat technology entrepreneur and inventor who has built several pioneering products and companies in artificial intelligence, across fields including search, natural language processing, code security analysis, video generation, social intelligence, and disinformation, with eighteen inventions patented across these fields. He was an early employee at Google, which was formative for his career and his thinking.
He holds a PhD in rationality and interactive decision-making from the Hebrew University of Jerusalem and was a senior fellow at Princeton University, where his work addressed common knowledge, epistemology, disagreement, and the role of testimony in belief formation. These questions have continued to shape both his research and the companies he has built. He is a clinical professor at Tel Aviv University's Coller School of Management and Cognitive Science Program, and an advisor to organizations navigating the strategic implications of emerging technology.
His work has been published in academic journals and featured in the MIT Technology Review, the Harvard Business Review, and Forbes.
He has three daughters and is married to Anat. He splits his time between London and Tel Aviv. This site collects his research, inventions, projects and ventures, and some other stuff.
