The Stanford Institute for Human-Centered AI (HAI) is an interdisciplinary institute established in 2019 to advance AI research, education, policy, and practice. Stanford HAI brings together thought leaders from academia, industry, government, and civil society to shape the development and responsible deployment of AI.
Stanford HAI’s mission is to advance AI research, education, policy, and practice to improve the human condition. We believe AI should be guided by its human impact, inspired by human intelligence, and designed to augment, not replace, people. Our interdisciplinary faculty conducts research focused on guiding the development of AI technologies intended to enhance human capabilities while ensuring its ethical, fair, and transparent use.
HAI leverages Stanford’s seven leading schools on campus, enabling multidisciplinary research. Through our research, policy, and education efforts, we prepare future AI leaders, conduct innovative research, foster national discussions, and guide industry approaches to human-centered AI. We are committed to promoting AI that benefits society broadly, aligning with Stanford’s values of fairness, professionalism, and responsibility.
