Stanford HAI
Stanford’s newest institute, the Stanford Institute for Human-Centered Artificial Intelligence — or Stanford HAI — hopes advance artificial intelligence (AI) research, education, policy and practice to improve the human condition.
When the university needed a video to inaugurate this ambitious new program, they turned to Stanford Video to help promote their message to world. We helped produce and create a promotional video that describes the institute and its mission to the university to inaugurate the event and to promote online.
We also live-streamed the conference and created near-live video tweets for the Stanford HAI twitter channel encouraging reactions and conversations with followers worldwide.
Stanford President Marc Tessier-Lavigne spoke at the symposium along with speakers such as Microsoft founder and philanthropist Bill Gates and California Governor Gavin Newsom, as well as leading experts Kate Crawford of NYU, Jeff Dean of Google, Demis Hassabis of DeepMind, Alison Gopnik of UC Berkeley, Reid Hoffman of Greylock Partners and Eric Horvitz of Microsoft Research.
The institute launches with 200 participating faculty from all seven schools at the university. In collaboration with appropriate schools and departments, it also plans to hire at least 20 new faculty, including 10 junior fellows, from across fields spanning humanities, engineering, medicine, the arts or the basic sciences, with a particular interest in those working at the intersection of disciplines. It will also house research fellows, convene groups of professionals to solve critical issues to humanity and distribute funding to spur novel research directions.

In education, we haven’t even begun to do deep machine learning work in terms of understanding motivation, teaching styles and more to really improve the output of the system: better learning, fewer dropouts. – Bill Gates #StanfordHumanAI pic.twitter.com/sA25sh4aCf

There’s a desire to come up with a quantitative metric for fairness, but there isn’t one. What we’re starting to see is a tweaking of algorithmic systems to create parity. – @katecrawford #StanfordHumanAI pic.twitter.com/EnfeeAi3Ev

Combining #AI with a domain you also care about makes for a lot of electricity and a lot of combustibility – in a good way. – @Rbaltman #StanfordHumanAI pic.twitter.com/J7SlpEEHw8

We need to broaden the conversation around #AI. Today, it’s very much behind a wall of math and equations. We’re missing tools that can translate that into a language other people can engage with. – @viegasf #StanfordHumanAI pic.twitter.com/reUK6ahlwH
