- Alan TuringAlan Turing (1912–1954) was a British mathematician whose 1936 paper defined computation with an abstract machine. His 1950 paper proposed the imitation game, now called the Turing test, and he is counted among the founders of artificial intelligence.
- Andreas BlattmannAndreas Blattmann is a researcher on generative image models, second author of the latent diffusion paper behind Stable Diffusion, co-author of the Stable Diffusion 3 paper, and a 2024 co-founder of Black Forest Labs, which released the FLUX.1 models.
- Arthur MenschArthur Mensch is a French AI researcher who worked at DeepMind before co-founding Mistral AI in 2023, where he serves as chief executive. He is a co-author of the Chinchilla scaling paper and the Mistral 7B paper.
- Bernt Øyvind BørnichBernt Øyvind Børnich is CEO of 1X Technologies, the robotics company he founded in 2014 as Halodi Robotics; its work spans humanoid robots and the Revo1 servo motor.
- Clément DelangueClément Delangue is a French entrepreneur who co-founded Hugging Face in 2016 and runs it as CEO, leading its shift from a chatbot app to an open machine-learning platform and model hub.
- David SilverBritish computer scientist born in 1976 who specialises in reinforcement learning. He led DeepMind's AlphaGo project, co-authored the 2013 deep Q-network paper and later founded Ineffable Intelligence.
- Demis HassabisDemis Hassabis is a British AI researcher and entrepreneur who co-founded DeepMind and was the last author of the 2016 AlphaGo paper. He shared the 2024 Nobel Prize in Chemistry for work on predicting protein structures.
- Durk KingmaDurk Kingma is a machine learning researcher and co-author of the variational autoencoder and the Adam optimizer; he has worked at OpenAI, Google Brain / DeepMind and Anthropic.
- Emad MostaqueEmad Mostaque is a British-Bangladeshi former hedge fund manager who founded Stability AI in 2019 and served as its CEO until he resigned in March 2024.
- Guillaume LampleGuillaume Lample is a co-founder and Chief Science Officer of Mistral AI. He was the last of 14 authors on the LLaMA paper and co-authored the Mistral 7B paper.
- John McCarthyJohn McCarthy (1927–2011) was an American computer scientist. His 1955 proposal is credited with coining the term “artificial intelligence”, he organised the 1956 Dartmouth workshop, and he created the LISP programming language.
- Julien ChaumondFrench entrepreneur who co-founded Hugging Face in 2016 and serves as its CTO, building the platform where open models and datasets are shared and speaking publicly for open-source AI.
- Jürgen SchmidhuberGerman computer scientist and co-author, with Sepp Hochreiter, of the 1997 LSTM paper. He has directed the Swiss AI lab IDSIA since 1995 and has publicly argued that some contributions to AI deserve more credit.
- Koray KavukcuogluKoray Kavukcuoglu is a DeepMind computer scientist who co-authored the first deep Q-network paper and later, as Google DeepMind's CTO and Google's chief AI architect, fronted successive Gemini model launches.
- Nat FriedmanNat Friedman is a technology executive who led Xamarin as CEO, became CEO of GitHub after Microsoft acquired it, and later joined Meta to help lead Meta Superintelligence Labs.
- Oriol VinyalsSpanish computer scientist (born 1983) who co-invented sequence-to-sequence learning, led DeepMind's AlphaStar research group, and became a technical lead on Gemini before leaving to start Discovery Loop.
- Patrick EsserPatrick Esser is a researcher on generative image and video models: a co-author of the latent diffusion paper that became the basis of Stable Diffusion, lead author of the Stable Diffusion 3 paper, and a 2024 co-founder of Black Forest Labs.
- Robin RombachFirst author of the latent diffusion paper that underlies Stable Diffusion, and later co-founder and CEO of Black Forest Labs, the company behind the FLUX image models.
- Sepp HochreiterGerman computer scientist who co-developed the long short-term memory (LSTM) network, a recurrent neural network design for learning from sequences such as text and speech. He led the xLSTM work in 2024.
- Shane LeggShane Legg is a New Zealand AI researcher and co-founder of DeepMind, known for helping popularise the term "artificial general intelligence" and for leading the company's AGI safety work.
