Artificial intelligence-based talent recruiting platform Eightfold Inc., a tech firm founded by a pair of former engineers for Google LLC and Facebook Inc., has hired its first general counsel, who also happens to be an AI expert.  

Silicon Valley-based Eightfold has turned to Roy Wang, an ex-Big Law partner well versed in machine learning, to lead the firm’s legal department. The startup has raised $55 million in funding since it was founded in 2016 and recently opened an office in India.
