Karpathy joined Tesla in 2017 from Stanford University, and Tesla described him at the time as âone of the worldâs leading experts in computer vision and deep learning.â He also worked as a research scientist at Open AI, a nonprofit that was co-founded by Tesla Chief Executive Elon Musk.
âThanks for everything you have done for Tesla! It has been an honor working with you,â Musk tweeted Wednesday.
In his role at Tesla, Karpathy helped develop the Autopilot driver-assistance feature, which uses a neural network as the âbrainâ of the vehicles. His Tesla team also handled data labeling; on Tuesday, Tesla confirmed it was laying off more than 200 people from its Autopilot data-annotation unit and closing an office in San Mateo, Calif.
Karpathy had been on sabbatical for the past several months.
