Silvio Savarese is an Italian-American computer scientist and artificial intelligence researcher. Since 2021, he has served as executive vice president and chief scientist of AI research at Salesforce, where he leads the development of generative AI platforms for customer relationship management.[1]In 2024, he was named to Time‘s list of the 100 Most Influential People in AI.[1]

Early life and education

[edit]

Savarese and his father Gey developed the computer adventure game A Quiet Weekend in Capri. The game was released in Italy in May 2003 and in North America in 2004.[2][3]The pair also developed a sequel, AnaCapri: The Dream, released in 2007.[4]

Savarese earned his degree from the University of Naples Federico II in Naples, Italy.[5] He subsequently earned his PhD in electrical engineering from the California Institute of Technology.[3]

Savarese was an associate professor at the University of Michigan from 2008 to 2013, where he directed the Computer Vision Group and conducted research in 3D scene interpretation, robotics, and machine learning. He then became a tenured professor of computer science at Stanford University.[6][7]

At Stanford, Savarese focused on the analysis and modeling of visual scenes from static images and video sequences.[8] His research enabled the design of machines capable of performing real-world visual tasks such as autonomous navigation and visual surveillance.[6][8]

In 2011, Savarese co-authored the book Representations and Techniques for 3D Object Recognition & Scene Interpretation with Derek Hoiem.[9]

In 2018, Savarese developed JR-2, a socially aware robot capable of reading human intentions through neural networks.[5][7]

In 2021, Salesforce hired Savarese as chief scientist.[10]His initial work was in leading development of Einstein GPT, and now currently leads development for agentic AI platforms.[1]

Savarese and his team also developed CodeGen, an open source, large-scale language model that enables conversational AI programming, allowing users to write code through voice commands.[11][12][10]

Awards and recognition

[edit]

  • 2013 – J. James R. Croes Medal from the American Society of Civil Engineers for his work on Four-Dimensional Augmented Reality (D4AR) technology for construction site monitoring.[13]
  • 2024 – Time’s 100 Most Influential People in AI[1]

He is married to computer scientist, AI researcher, and Stanford professor Fei-Fei Li, with whom he shares two children.[14]
