SASHA BLAIR-GOLDENSOHN
“The first project that I worked on when I came here was about how Maps handles reviews,” says Sasha Blair-Goldensohn.
“A
restaurant might have 3,000 reviews and want to be able to throw all of them
into the AI blender and have it pop out a summary:
‘People say this place has great soup
dumplings, really long lines and it gets super crowded.’”
Though his work at Google touched on its Maps
technology, he wasn’t thinking much about the actual route-finding features —
how people get from A to B.
That
changed one morning while he was walking through Central Park to catch the
subway and a 100-pound tree limb fell on him.
The limb
fractured his skull and he sustained a T5 spinal cord injury.
