IBM Joins Stanford Human-Centered AI Institute's Partner Program

As a Stanford alum, I am excited to announce that IBM Research is the first founding corporate partner of the Stanford Institute for Human-Centered Artificial Intelligence (HAI). Building on decades of research collaboration across computer and materials science, IBM is committed to joining HAI to advance AI research, education, policy and practice that improve how we live, work, play and learn. In this new role, IBM will work closely with fellow AI thought leaders, researchers and innovators at Stanford and through participation on the HAI Corporate Advisory Committee. IBM researchers will also work alongside Stanford researchers as part of the Visiting Scholars program. Across departments and with other academic, industry and government leaders, IBM will work with HAI to collaborate to advance the state of the art in AI research and to understand the multi-dimensional impact of AI as it transforms economies, business, legal and political norms, societies and cultures.
