Fireside Chat: Future of Work Powered by AI

Background:

I’m an engineer at Dropbox working on machine learning. I co-founded Anchovi Labs, a startup using computer vision to organize photos. It was acquired by Dropbox in late 2012. Before that, I was in grad school at Caltech. My thesis focused on hybrid human-machine learning systems. I grew up in Sweden, lived in Dublin for a while, and studied Physics in London. I enjoy building things.

Peter was an engineering lead at Dropbox, where he led the photos infrastructure, computer vision, and machine learning teams. Before that, he co-founded AI startup Anchovi Labs and did his graduate work at Caltech in computer vision and crowd sourcing.
