Chris Lattner works on Swift for TensorFlow, so it’s not hard to see why he was picked for this role.

That might be credited more to his role in creating Swift than his expertise in ML.

To be clear, I'm not claiming he's not capable of the role at some point. I don't know one way or the other. But his transition from compilers to AI seems fairly recent.
