Amir Husain (born November 7, 1977) is an American artificial intelligence researcher, entrepreneur and published author.
Contents
Early life[edit]
Husain was born in Lahore, Pakistan. He earned a Bachelor's Degree from the Punjab Institute of Computer Sciences and attended the Master's Program at University of Texas at Austin before leaving to pursue his first entrepreneurial endeavor.
Career after graduation[edit]
Husain's first venture-funded startup, Kurion, launched in 1999 and was later sold to iSyndicate in 2001. After Kurion’s sale, he formed a systems management company, InfraManage, which focused on distributed/p2p systems and autonomic Systems management. InfraManage merged with PC Blade manufacturer, ClearCube Technology in 2002. Husain became Chief Technology Officer of ClearCube and was a part of the Board of Directors of ClearCube’s holding company.[1]
Husain also served as the Chief Executive Officer and President of VDIworks Inc. from 2008 to 2013. [2]
In 2013, a low cost computing platform Husain invented was inducted into the collection of the Computer History Museum in Mountain View.
In November 2017, Husain published his first book, The Sentient Machine: The Coming Age of Artificial Intelligence.
SparkCognition[edit]
With the desire to build a company that would be at the forefront of the “AI 3.0” revolution[3], Husain founded SparkCognition, an enterprise artificial intelligence company, in 2013. (Initial investment came from Michael Dell's private equity arm MSD Capital[4].) SparkCognition uses machine learning to analyze data, extracting insights that support decisions and improve operational efficiency. It provides AI systems to increase the production value of assets, automate workflows, and provide endpoint security. The company mainly operates in the industries of energy, oil and gas, manufacturing, finance, aerospace, defense, and security industries. In 2017, it was named the fastest-growing company in Central Texas[5] by the Austin Business Journal.
Awards, publications, and honors[edit]
For his inventions, Husain has been awarded 22 U.S. patents and has over 40 pending patent applications. He served as a founding member of the Board of Advisors for IBM Watson and serves on the board of advisors for University of Texas Department of Computer Science, Makerarm, ClearCube Technology, uStudio and others. He has been featured in media outlets including Foreign Policy[6], Fox Business[7], Marketwatch[8], and Proceedings from the U.S. Naval Institute[9]. In 2015, Husain was named Austin’s Top Technology Entrepreneur of the Year.[10]
