Career

Mikolov obtained his PhD in Computer Science from Brno University of Technology for his work on recurrent neural network-based language models.[3][4]

Prior to joining Facebook in 2014, Mikolov worked as a visiting researcher at Johns Hopkins University, Université de Montréal, Microsoft and Google.[5]

Mikolov has diminished the existential risk from artificial general intelligence by arguing that humanity might be at a greater risk if an artificial general intelligence is not developed.[6]
