CTO, Alike at Alike

Max Van Kleek

Hi! I'm CTO of Alike, and an Associate Professor of Computer Science at Oxford University, with a PhD in Computer Science from MIT (2011). My research over the past 25 years (at MIT, PARC, Nokia, and IBM) has focused on human-AI interaction paradigms, privacy-preserving systems, and core AI ethics and safety.

Questions & Answers

What's the story behind your company?

I've been researching how AI can support knowledge work for 2.5 decades, at MIT CSAIL, PARC, Nokia Research, and Oxford. Being a professor means you constantly have a stream of people needing your attention and help. Knowledge workers need support.
