Jakob Uszkoreit
InceptiveCo-founder and CEO
PrometheusFounding Advisor
Uszkoreit proposed replacing older language-model designs with self-attention, which lets a model connect relevant words across a sentence.[1] This helped launch the Transformer architecture behind modern language AI. He later co-founded Inceptive, which uses AI to design RNA medicines that instruct or regulate cells.[2]
