Jakob Uszkoreit

Jakob Uszkoreit is the co-founder and CEO of Inceptive. He started Inceptive to enable a new generation of medicines, reminiscent of software, but running on our cells. Inceptive pursues this vision by learning life’s languages through a unique combination of cutting-edge AI and scalable biochemistry experiments.

Before Inceptive, Jakob conducted deep learning research at Google Brain, including co-authoring the papers “Attention Is All You Need” and “An Image Is Worth 16x16 Words” that introduced the neural network architectures now at the core of virtually all modern AI models across language, vision and science.

Earlier, he led the language understanding team behind Google Assistant and many Google Search features, and worked on Google Translate in its early days.
