He has made several major contributions to the field of deep learning.[8][9][10] In 2023, Sutskever was one of the members of the OpenAI board who fired CEO Sam Altman; Altman returned a week later, and Sutskever stepped down from the board. He is the co-inventor, with Alex Krizhevsky and Geoffrey Hinton, of AlexNet, a convolutional neural network.[11] Sutskever is also one of the many co-authors of the AlphaGo paper.[12]
