Jeff Dean及其在谷歌的同事正式离职，联合创办新的初创企业Discovery Loop，致力于利用人工智能加速科学研究[1]。该公司通过自动化实验流程和规模化计算来提高创新效率[1]。
这支创始团队汇集了谷歌多位杰出AI研究者[1]。Jeff Dean自1999年加入Google以来，已成为该公司第30位员工[1]。联合创始人还包括Sanjay Ghemawat、Quoc Le和Oriol Vinyals[1]。Discovery Loop采用公益性企业结构[1]。
融资方面，该初创企业已获得Radical Ventures和Khosla Ventures的联合领投，Kleiner Perkins、Lightspeed和Doerr Capital也参与其中[1]。Jeff Dean对这一新企业寄予期待，表示："You will get both a higher quantity and a higher quality of experiments, and that will lead to scientific breakthroughs and advances."[1]
Jeff Dean and several other leading artificial intelligence researchers have departed Google to establish Discovery Loop, a benefit corporation focused on leveraging AI to accelerate scientific discovery [1]. The startup aims to enhance innovation efficiency through the automation of experimental processes and scaled computational approaches [1].
Dean, who has been with Google since 1999 and was the company's 30th employee, co-founded the venture alongside Sanjay Ghemawat, Quoc Le, and Oriol Vinyals [1]. The company has secured funding led jointly by Radical Ventures and Khosla Ventures, with additional participation from Kleiner Perkins, Lightspeed, and Doerr Capital, as well as Alphabet, Google's parent company [1].
According to Dean, the approach will produce measurable improvements in research output: "You will get both a higher quantity and a higher quality of experiments, and that will lead to scientific breakthroughs and advances" [1].
