Near co-founder Illia Polosukhin helped invent the transformer while at Google. He sat down with CNBC to tell how it happened and why AI should be open source.
in 2017, he had a brainstorming lunch and then returned to his desk to build what may have been the very first transformer, the neural network architecture that makes generative artificial intelligence possible." along with seven Google colleagues, who have collectively become known as the"Transformer 8.
Polosukhin said Google started utilizing transformers in 2018 in Google Translate, which made for a"massive improvement." But a broadly popular use of the technology didn't come until "OpenAI had very little to lose by opening this up," Polosukhin told CNBC."If, for example, any other company, especially public company, opened it up and the first question you ask there, it was like an inappropriate answer, that would be in the news."By the time the formative paper was published at the end of 2017, Polosukhin had exited Google to start his own AI company,, with fellow software engineer Alexander Skidanov.
Ultimately, he said,"for Google it doesn't make sense to launch something that's not a $1 billion idea.""At the time, opening it up and making it available to everyone to build on top of it was the right decision," he said. With Near, Polosukhin is focused on what he calls user-owned AI,"that optimizes for the privacy and sovereignty of users."
