According to Bloomberg, under the leadership of former Apple AI expert Siddharth Khullar, Swedish lithium-ion battery manufacturer Northvolt is accelerating the research and development of advanced vehicle batteries.
Siddharth Khullar spent more than six years at Apple developing sleep-tracking technology for the Apple Watch and self-driving features.
He joined Northvolt 1 year ago and is currently responsible for leading a professional team of 18 people to use artificial intelligence technology to control various battery production processes to accelerate the development of advanced batteries.
In the process of designing and producing batteries, a large amount of data will be generated. Without the help of artificial intelligence, humans simply cannot effectively process this data.
Northvolt hopes artificial intelligence can analyze this data to reduce battery production costs without affecting product quality and accelerate the development of advanced batteries.
Northvolt is currently expanding battery production in Sweden and plans to build factories in Germany and Canada. The company has successfully attracted US$9 billion (Note: currently about 64.26 billion RMB) in funding and has received orders worth more than 550 million US dollars. billion US dollars (currently approximately 392.7 billion RMB). Volvo Cars, BMW, Polestar and Volkswagen are ready to become Northvolt customers.
