The head of one of Amazon’s key artificial intelligence labs has left the company after two years in the job amid a reshuffle of the group’s AI leadership.
David Luan on Tuesday said he was leaving at the end of the week to “cook up something new”. He had been responsible for overseeing the group’s agentic AI model, Nova Act, which can perform tasks autonomously in a web browser.
“There’s incredible work to be done at Amazon and opportunities for me to take on more areas,” Luan said in a post on LinkedIn. “But with AGI [artificial general intelligence] so close, I decided to spend 100 per cent of my time on teaching AI systems’ brand new capabilities.”
