Evi Founder Leaves Amazon To Launch Unlikely AI

William Tunstall-Pedoe, co-creator of Alexa and founder of Evi, left Amazon in 2016 after writing a six-page memo and returned to startups. In 2019 he launched Unlikely AI to develop neurosymbolic systems that combine machine-learning models with algorithmic correctness. The move underscores startup suitability for novel, contrarian projects and aims to make AI more trustworthy.
