automation and artificial intelligence
UiPath (NYSE: PATH), a leading enterprise automation software
company, today announced the appointment of Dr. Oren Etzioni to
chair its new Artificial Intelligence (AI) Advisory Board. The
Advisory Board, to be comprised of AI leaders and experts from
academia, the technology industry, and the ethics community, will
help foster the UiPath AI Research and Incubation function focused
on research in machine learning (ML) and AI investments. The goal
of the research is to help develop the next wave of
transformational technologies at the intersection of automation and
AI.
Dr. Oren Etzioni has served as the Chief Executive Officer of
the Allen Institute for AI (AI2) since its inception in 2014. He is
Professor Emeritus, University of Washington as of October 2020 and
a Venture Partner at the Madrona Venture Group since 2000. He has
founded or co-founded several companies, including Farecast
(acquired by Microsoft) and has authored 100-plus technical papers
on AI – helping to pioneer meta-search, online comparison shopping,
machine reading, and Open Information Extraction. He was Seattle’s
2013 Geek of the Year.
“AI is poised to play an increasingly large role in societies
across the world. Accordingly, there is a growing interest in
ensuring that it is used in a responsible and beneficial manner. A
range of perspectives and contributions are needed, spanning the
full spectrum from fundamental research to sustained deployments,”
said Dr. Oren Etzioni. “I’m honored to have the opportunity to
chair this important initiative for UiPath to help ensure
human-centered automation methods are deployed to establish
ethical, inclusive, and accountable AI systems.”
The AI Advisory Board will also provide guidance to UiPath on
investments to advance trustworthy, explainable, and ethical AI –
challenges particularly prominent for fostering collaborative
human-AI relationships. Working with the Advisory Board, UiPath
plans to expand its practical guidance on managing ethical
questions as customers deploy its automation and AI technologies
into the workplace to work with, and alongside, humans.
“Oren’s experience will be of huge value to our plans as we
scale the types of use cases customers can address by adding AI to
their automation,” said Ted Kummert, Executive Vice President for
Products & Engineering at UiPath. “He shares our vision and
enthusiasm for the exciting possibilities in the field of AI and
automation and we’re thrilled to have him chairing this Advisory
Board.”
