More About Adam Cheyer

Some of Adam’s engagements include Fortune 1000 and strategic clients such as Google.

Adam Cheyer was former Vice President of R&D at Samsung. He was also previously co-founder and VP Engineering of Viv Labs, an artificial intelligence (AI) company acquired by Samsung in 2016.

Adam was also co-Founder and VP Engineering of Siri, acquired by Apple in 2010 to build their virtual personal assistant, which was distributed on more than 1.5B devices.  After joining Apple, he became a Director of Engineering in the iPhone/iOS group, leading all AI and server-side aspects of the Siri assistant.

Adam is a Founding Member and Advisor to Change.org, the premier social network for positive social change with more than 300 million members.   He also co-founded Sentient Technologies, which applies distributed machine learning algorithms to discover novel solutions to complex problems. Previously, Adam was VP Engineering at Verticalnet (NASDAQ: VERT, an enterprise software business) and Dejima (mobile software).  Adam spent more than a decade at SRI International, where his most recent role was as Chief Architect of CALO, the largest ever government-funded AI project, whose purpose was to create an intelligent assistant that learns and self-improves “in the wild” (e.g. with no code changes).

In addition to his technology work, Adam is an award-winning magician.  He is a member of the prestigious Magic Castle in Los Angeles, the Academy of Magical Arts (AMA), and the International Brotherhood of Magicians (IBM). He has performed on stage in front of thousands, on TV for millions (including on the well-known “Penn and Teller Fool Us” show), entertained heads of state with close up magic and mentalism, and fooled some of the top pros in the business.

Testimonials

“Adam presented to 700 of our top IT clients. They had a great experience as he explained the past present and future of AI. Adam was funny, engaging, and even did an incredible magic trick that we still can’t figure out.”

Finnur Oddsson
CEO of Nÿherji

Adam Cheyer was down to earth, humble, and great with socializing with everyone. Lots of people found his presentation on Siri inspiring and he stayed the entire night to network with the founders and team. He even joined the after-party! Loved his magic tricks and I hope we get to have him again.”
