Dr. Jonathan S Rosenfeld

Jonathan (“Jonny”) Rosenfeld leads the FundamentalAI group at MIT FutureTech — focusing on the fundamental safety and performance limits of deep learning and AGI, their attainment and predictability.

Dr. Rosenfeld’s interests lie at the intersection of fundamental science and large-scale impact across Academia and Industry. In industry he has directed large-scale research and development teams, including hundreds of engineers, across disciplines including AI, genomics, physics, and information theory; and currently leads efforts at the intersection of AI and stem cell biology as Co-Founder and CTO of somite.ai.In 2019 at MIT he was among the pioneers of Deep Learning scaling laws which have underpinned fundamental progress in the field (and hypothesized these to be exponentially suboptimal). His work twice received the Israeli Defense Prize, akin to the USA's Medal of Freedom.

He holds five degrees: a Ph.D. and MSc in CS from MIT; a BA in Physics, BSc in EE, and an MBA from the Technion.
