Jakub Langr: Czech AI expert plans new startup after Palantir

Czech artificial intelligence specialist Jakub Langr is preparing a new startup — and the path that led him there is anything but ordinary. He wrote a textbook on AI at the age of twenty, long before artificial intelligence became a mainstream topic everyone was talking about.

Langr went on to found a startup focused on freight fleet management, sold it successfully, and then spent some time working at the American company Palantir, known for its work in big-data analysis and technology for the public sector and business.

Now, according to Forbes, the entrepreneur is preparing something new again — another project at the intersection of technology and artificial intelligence. Details have not yet been disclosed, but his track record — from writing an AI textbook at a young age, to a successful startup exit, to working at one of the world’s most prominent technology companies — makes him one of the most interesting figures on the Czech AI scene.
