OpenAI for Science: Kevin Weil - Accelerating Science with AI
UW CSE 2, Gates Center (G20) Amazon Auditorium, 3800 E Stevens Way NE, Seattle, WA, USThis is an AI talk focused on scientific discovery, which is very relevant to quantum computing.
This lecture will be recorded and streamed live on the Allen School's YouTube channel (https://www.youtube.com/@uwcse), unless otherwise noted. The link will be available on that page one hour prior to the event.
See the official UW post here, abstract forthcoming.
BIO:
Kevin Weil is VP of OpenAI for Science, focused on building the next great scientific instrument: an AI-powered platform that accelerates scientific discovery. Previously, Kevin served as the Chief Product Officer at OpenAI, where he led the teams turning frontier models into products like ChatGPT, Codex, and the OpenAI API.
Before joining OpenAI, Kevin was the President, Product and Business at Planet Labs. He was previously the co-founder of the Libra cryptocurrency and VP of Product for Novi at Facebook, VP of Product at Instagram and SVP of Product at Twitter. Earlier in his career, Kevin held software engineering and data science roles at Cooliris, Tropos Networks, Microsoft Research and the Stanford Linear Accelerator Center.
Kevin graduated summa cum laude in physics and mathematics from Harvard University and has an M.S. in physics from Stanford University. He is a term member of the Council on Foreign Relations (CFR) and serves on the boards of Cisco and The Nature Conservancy. In his spare time, he is an avid ultramarathon runner, racing distances up to 100 miles.| When | Thursday, May 7, 2026, 3:30 – 4:30 p.m. |
