Ben Laurie, a founding director of the Apache Software Foundation and a Googler, has become head of security and transparency at AI startup DeepMind.
Excited and proud to announce that this week I have joined @DeepMindAI as head of security and transparency.

An accomplished cryptographer, Laurie's responsibilities will more likely involve the safeguarding of patient data, which DeepMind is slurping up, rather than containing the nascent Skynet. ®
