Rishi Bommasani

I am a Senior Research Scholar at the Stanford Institute for Human-Centered Artificial Intelligence (HAI).
I research the societal and economic impact of AI, especially foundation models, to advance evidence-based AI policy.

To improve AI governance, I have built the interface between AI researchers and policymakers through several major efforts in global AI policy:
the EU AI Act and its Code of Practice, the California Report on Frontier AI Policy, and the International Scientific Report on AI. My research has won multiple paper awards at top AI conferences and has been featured in The Atlantic, Axios, Bloomberg, Euractiv, Fast Company, Financial Times, Fortune, The Information, MIT Technology Review, Nature, The New York Times, Politico, Quanta, Rappler, Reuters, Tech Policy Press, VentureBeat, The Verge, Vox, The Wall Street Journal, and The Washington Post.

I received my PhD from Stanford Computer Science, advised by Percy Liang and Dan Jurafsky, and funded by the Stanford Lieberman Fellowship and NSF Graduate Research Fellowship. Prior to Stanford, I completed my undergraduate and master’s degrees at Cornell Computer Science, advised by Claire Cardie.
