Pioneered (towards) “AGI” @ Intel. Founding member of Gen-AI practice @ Accenture since 2021. Tech lead in two AI startups that got acquired. Strong in vision and execution — delivered AI for deduplications saving Intel $600M annually, and an AI talent platform as well as GenAI for data quality for Accenture, enabling many client transformations. Has a PhD. in Theoretical Physics and can mold any idea into mathematical algorithms and follow through to realize value. Extensive multi-industry knowledge for AI use cases — 60+ pilots over the past decade. Book author on AI/ML along with numerous patents and publications-How I work:I am skilled at coming up with innovative AI ideas and bring them to life quickly. I build and grow high-performing data science, AI products and teams, directing a mix of AI/data science PhDs, software developers, designers, and engineering managers. FROM CONCEPTION TO ADOPTION. I am able to leverage my background, deep mathematical and algorithmic understanding and combine them with an entrepreneurial mindset and experience.I have delivered 60+ cross-industry AI projects over the past decade, have failed and succeeded in myriad ways and loved it all. Been acquired twice, by Intel and Nokia. Served as lead scientist and horizontal platform owner of Intel\'s cognitive computing practice. Combined AI predictions with data-driven optimization of business actions, plans, and policies, in my last startup, which led me to join Accenture\'s Global AI solutions-Passion:I have always been super passionate about better human thinking and the prospect of thinking machines that can make us smarter collectively. When I find any free time, I think deeply about foundations of intelligence and do research beyond what my day job allows me to. For more, please check out: https://fundamentali.com/ali-magine/
