Jeffrey,

I have a dear friend of mine Richard Socher who's adjunct pro=essor at Stanford and Chief Scientist at Salesforce http://www.socher.org/ https=//www.theinformation.com/articles/the-scientist-behind-salesforces-ai-push<=a> <https://www=theinformation.com/articles/the-scientist-behind-salesforces-ai-push>

Richard is one of the best people in Al I know w=th a great reputation in the Valley and supporters like Marc Benioff. We =80 d love to get him into the running for the McArthur genius grant. Is t=ere any ways you can help/advise how to do that better?

We just n=ed to nominate/refer him and it is unclear how to do that right.

I can connect you directly so you talk to him and cre=te your own opinion on him and see if you want to help.

I deeply car= about Richard as a friend and I think there's a good chances that h=s work on Al deserves this award. If there's any ways you can help I=E2 II really appreciate that.

Masha
