Recruit Chinese OpenAI Partners: JD.com AI Head Joins ChatGPT

Zhou Bowen, an IEEE Fellow and Fellow of the Chinese Association for Artificial Intelligence (CAAI), is a professor in the Department of Electronic Engineering of Tsinghua University and Huiyan Chair Professor of Tsinghua University. He was the dean of the IBM Artificial Intelligence Basic Research Institute and the chief scientist of IBM Watson Artificial Intelligence before joining JD.com in 2017 as senior vice president, chairman of the Technical Committee, president of JD Cloud and AI, and founding director of the Artificial Intelligence Research Institute. Zhou Bowen resigned from JD.com in 2021 and founded Lianyuan Technology to help enterprises and consumers subversively complete product innovation in the era of artificial intelligence and the correct understanding of digital intelligence.

Lianyuan Technology is the brainchild of Zhou Bowen, a renowned researcher in the field of speech and natural language processing (NLP). His research has been cited over 15,000 times and he has collaborated with Turing Award winner Yoshua Bengio on a paper in the direction of NLP. Lianyuan Technology is joining the battle of ChatGPT, a Chinese version of OpenAI, and has received angel round financing from Qiming Venture Capital and Matrix Partners China with a post-investment valuation of hundreds of millions of dollars. Zhou Bowen’s research and the backing of these investors make Lianyuan Technology a force to be reckoned with in the field of NLP.
