Jeff Dean backs Khipu, Deep Indaba and Discovery Loop AI events

Jeff Dean says he has personally supported the Khipu AI event in Latin America and the Deep Learning Indaba in Africa through his family foundation.

He says he has also encouraged Google to back both events in the past. Discovery Loop says it is also supporting the events.

In a later post, Dean asks people at AI companies to suggest that their employers sponsor Khipu, Deep Indaba and Discovery Loop. He says Nando de Freitas first recommended the events as worthwhile sponsorships. Khipu is a non-profit AI gathering whose 2027 edition is set for April 5–9 in São Paulo, Brazil, with about 500 participants.
