Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolJean-Christophe Baillie is a serial founder and AI/robotics scientist with over a decade of experience building research-driven companies and products, from Gostai (acquired by SoftBank) to Novaquark’s ambitious Dual Universe metaverse and his current R&D venture, Developmental Labs. He combines deep academic roots—a PhD in AI/computer vision and a background at Sony CSL and ENSTA—with hands-on leadership as former Chief Science Officer at SoftBank Robotics where he founded the AI Lab. Equally comfortable shaping strategy and fundraising (led a €30M raise at Novaquark) or writing technical docs for decentralized projects like Massa, he bridges developmental AI, robotics, virtual worlds and blockchain. Known for creating the UrbiScript language, he favors practical, systems-level solutions that push toward human-level intelligence while keeping developer clarity front of mind.
