Jonas Andrulis

Jonas Andrulis has been working with software and intelligent systems since 1998, often close to academic innovation, and has published numerous papers in the research community. After studying industrial engineering at KIT in Karlsruhe and writing a thesis on Bayesian networks, he worked as a consultant in the field of AI and modeling. He successfully founded two AI software companies: The first to plan and optimize logistics, the second to optimize human-in-the-loop training, and the validation of deep learning algorithms in human-machine interactions. After three years as Engineering Manager for AI research in Apple's Special Projects Group in Cupertino and later in AI research at Siri, he founded Aleph Alpha in Heidelberg in 2019, the third AI start-up with a focus on innovation and application of sovereign generalizing artificial intelligence. Since then, Aleph Alpha has raised a total of 500 million euros from some of the best European deep-tech investors and strategic partners with the aim of establishing independent cutting-edge AI research and providing basic technology for a new type of information-based value creation.
