Samy Bengio is a Canadian computer scientist, Senior Director of AI and Machine Learning Research at Apple,[1] and a former long-time scientist at Google[2] known for leading a large group of researchers working in machine learning including adversarial settings. Bengio left Google shortly after the company fired his report, Timnit Gebru, without first notifying him.[3][4] At the time, Bengio said that he had been "stunned" by what happened to Gebru.[5] He is also among the three authors who developed Torch in 2002,[6] the ancestor of PyTorch,[7] one of today's two largest machine learning frameworks.[8]
