Ian J. Goodfellow[1] (born 1985 or 1986) is a computer scientist, engineer, and executive, most noted for his work on artificial neural networks and deep learning. He was previously employed as a research scientist at Google Brain and director of machine learning at Apple and has made several important contributions to the field of deep learning including the invention of the generative adversarial network (GAN). Goodfellow wrote the chapter on deep learning in the most popular textbook in the field of artificial intelligence, Artificial Intelligence: A Modern Approach (used in more than 1,500 universities in 135 countries), as well as the textbook Deep Learning.[2]

Biography

Goodfellow obtained his B.S. and M.S. in computer science from Stanford University under the supervision of Andrew Ng,[3] and his Ph.D. in machine learning from the Université de Montréal in April 2014, under the supervision of Yoshua Bengio (2018 ACM A.M. Turing Award for his work in deep learning) and Aaron Courville. His thesis is titled Deep learning of representations and its application to computer vision.[4][5] After graduation, Goodfellow joined Google as part of the Google Brain research team.[6] He then left Google to join the newly founded OpenAI research laboratory.[7][8] He returned to Google Research in March 2017.

Goodfellow is best known for inventing generative adversarial networks.[1] At Google, he developed a system enabling Google Maps to automatically transcribe addresses from photos taken by Street View cars[9][10] and demonstrated security vulnerabilities of machine learning systems.[11][12]

In 2017, Goodfellow was cited in MIT Technology Review's 35 Innovators Under 35.[13] In 2019, he was included in Foreign Policy's list of 100 Global Thinkers[14] and left Google and joined Apple as director of machine learning in the Special Projects Group.[15][16] In April 2022 he resigned to protest Apple's plan to require in-person work for its employees.[17]
