Karl Moritz Hermann, PhD
“Information and data are a critically overlooked part of making the life sciences progress to bring about a better world. The sheer amount of menial labor involved in data-intensive industries today means that many highly skilled professionals are focused on wrangling data, rather than solving complex issues. We created an AI system that understands the life sciences to radically grow its capacity to perform research at scale.”
Karl Moritz Hermann, PhD biography
Karl Moritz divided his time between fundamental research in machine learning and applying AI to the real world. He holds a doctorate from Oxford in computational linguistics and machine learning. Having sold his first startup, Dark Blue Labs, to Google in 2014, he subsequently worked as a senior staff researcher at DeepMind for five years.
Before all this he spent a few years at McKinsey, consulting ministries and large corporations. This caused his fervent dislike of mental menial labor, which he’s been working on mitigating ever since.
