      Visionary AI Pioneer, Co-Founder of Siri, Viv Labs, and Change.org

      Core Intelligence Domain: Artificial Intelligence & Innovation
      Location: California, USA | Languages: English
      Representation: Represented globally by PSpeakers Global Intelligence

      Adam Cheyer is a globally recognised pioneer in artificial intelligence and human-computer interaction, renowned for engineering some of the most transformative conversational AI platforms in modern history. As the co-founder of Siri, which was acquired by Apple to become the world’s most ubiquitous virtual assistant, and Viv Labs, acquired by Samsung to power the Bixby interface, Cheyer has consistently defined the frontier of voice-driven computing. His unparalleled strategic foresight extends beyond consumer technology; he is also a founding member of Change.org, the world’s largest petition platform, and a co-founder of Sentient Technologies, showcasing a unique ability to commercialise proprietary frameworks that bridge complex machine learning capabilities with mass-market utility.

      Engineering the Future of Conversational AI

      Before the widespread commercialisation of artificial intelligence, Adam Cheyer was already laying the groundwork for the future of human-machine interaction. His career began at SRI International, where he served as Chief Architect of the CALO (Cognitive Assistant that Learns and Organizes) project, the largest AI programme in US history, funded by DARPA. It was from this robust research foundation that Cheyer co-founded Siri in 2007. Following Siri’s acquisition by Apple in 2010, he served as a Director of Engineering within Apple’s iPhone and iOS divisions, working closely with executive leadership to integrate Siri into the fabric of the mobile ecosystem.

      Serial Entrepreneurship and Global Impact

      Cheyer’s entrepreneurial trajectory is characterised by his ability to repeatedly conceptualise, build, and scale disruptive technologies. His core professional milestones include:

      • Siri & Apple: Co-founder of Siri and subsequent Director of Engineering at Apple, revolutionising the way humans interact with mobile devices.
      • Viv Labs & Samsung: Co-founder and VP of R&D of Viv Labs, an open AI platform designed to create an intelligent interface for everything. Following its acquisition by Samsung in 2016, Cheyer played a pivotal role in the rollout of Bixby across millions of mobile devices, televisions, and home appliances.
      • Change.org: A founding member and the first developer of the platform, leveraging technology to empower over half a billion users worldwide to drive social change.
      • Sentient Technologies: Co-founder of an enterprise that pioneered massively scalable machine learning and evolutionary algorithms, applying AI to finance, e-commerce, and healthcare.
