This Perplexity cofounder wants to help AI breakthroughs graduate from university labs f-st.co/wixLozf

Today, I’m launching a deeply personal project. I’m betting $100M that we can help computer scientists create more upside impact for humanity. Built for and by researchers, including Jeff Dean & Joelle Pineau on the board, Laude Institute catalyzes research with real-world impact.

Hello, world. We’re thrilled to be here. A note from our co-founder @AndyKonwinski laude.org/updates/hello-…

I'm excited to be joining the board of the Laude Institute! We need more support and incentives for university researchers who have great ideas and early results to accelerate their work, and build new real-world solutions that have a meaningful impact on people and society.

Separately from my Google role, I'm excited to help Laude Institute identify and fund non-profit computer science research to have a major impact in the world, with Andy Konwinski and fellow board members Joelle Pineau and Dave Patterson.

Congrats to the team of AI change-makers, led by UC Berkeley alum and Perplexity co-founder Andy Konwinski, on today’s launch of Laude Institute – a nonprofit that helps university-based computer science researchers bring their breakthroughs out of the lab and into the world!

The breakthroughs of legendary computer scientist (and Laude board chair) Dave Patterson helped secure U.S. leadership in computing and AI. Today in The Hill, he’s urging Congress to preserve the research funding that made them possible. CISE is critical infrastructure for

My longtime collaborator Dave Patterson (long-time faculty at UC Berkeley, Association for Computing Machinery Turing Award winner, and fellow Laude Institute board member) wrote a very good op-ed about how continued investing in basic science and technology research is essential for the U.S. Dave

In this piece published in The Hill, fellow Turing laureate David Patterson points out that the return on investment of government-funded research in universities is gigantic. Cutting the budgets of NSF and NIH is economic suicide. thehill.com/opinion/techno…

thehill.com/opinion/techno… when I was in graduate school i was on an NSF fellowship for $15,000 per year, and i needed the money. The US has gotten a great financial return from its invesment in me way back when. We need to continue to support the new graduate students who will
