Stanford HAI
Bottom line
- The Stanford Institute for Human-Centered Artificial Intelligence (HAI) led the Governor’s working group on frontier AI policy. The Governor’s Executive Order N-6-26 names it as a consultee on public-good AI.
Why they matter
- Directive 9 of Executive Order N-6-26 names Stanford HAI as a consultee. The options include dedicated compute access (Executive Order N-6-26).
- Fei-Fei Li, Founding Co-Director, is a lead author of the working group report. SB-53 builds on that report (Governor AI working group release 2025-03-18). An analysis quotes her on the public sector lagging industry in resources (SB-53 Senate Judiciary analysis 2025-04-08).
- SB 294 built CalCompute on Stanford’s National Research Cloud proposal (Wiener SB 294 announcement 2023-09-13).
- Fei-Fei Li told a U.S. Senate committee in 2023 that only “a select few industry players” can work at the frontier, because of the compute and data that training needs. She supported a National AI Research Resource for academic researchers (Fei-Fei Li Senate testimony 2023-09-14 (web)).
