The 2025 AI Index Report Is Here
New in this year’s report are in-depth analyses of the evolving landscape of AI hardware, novel estimates of inference costs, and new analyses of AI publication and patenting trends. We also introduce fresh data on corporate adoption of responsible AI practices, along with expanded coverage of AI’s growing role in science and medicine.

Research
Our vision for the future is led by our commitment to studying, guiding, and developing human-centered AI technologies and applications. We believe AI should be collaborative, augmentative, and enhancing human productivity and quality of life.
Fellowships
HAI was established to support innovative AI research that bridges disciplines and fields. The Institute aims to appoint and support promising researchers through its fellowship programs who are working at intersections often overlooked by traditional academic departments, in addition to outstanding researchers pursuing core disciplinary topics.
Grants
The Stanford Institute for Human-Centered AI strives to foster a culture of interdisciplinary AI research in which technological advancements are inextricably linked to research about their potential societal impacts. HAI builds on the strength of Stanford research by offering many grant programs.
Student Affinity Groups
Affinity Groups provide a space for students to share ideas, develop intellectually and strengthen the community of future leaders dedicated to building AI that benefits all of humanity.
Education
We empower leaders in education, policy, and civil society with AI fundamentals to amplify their impact for humanity.
Policymakers and civil servants are at the front lines of decision-making on emerging technologies such as AI. Recognizing the valuable role they play in the AI governance ecosystem, Stanford HAI has developed specialized training programs to meet their needs.

Christine Baker
Educating the next generation of AI leaders is core to what HAI is all about. Essential to this mission are leaders and decision makers within the K-12 ecosystem, teachers, and students
Stanford’s seven leading schools on the same campus enable HAI to offer a multidisciplinary approach to education.
Policy
Through evidence-based research and global convenings, our policy work equips decision-makers with key insights into AI governance’s challenges and opportunities.
Joint California Summit on Generative AI
Highlighted in Governor Newsom's Executive Order, the Joint California Summit on Generative AI will focused on how the State can best use Generative AI to better serve the people of California and the impacts of GenAI on California and its workforce.
Tech Ethics & Policy Summer Fellowships
HAI and the McCoy Family Center for Ethics in Society are offering a 9-10 week fellowship for Stanford undergraduate and graduate students to engage in the technology ethics and policy field as it intersects with public policy and social impact.
Policymaker Education
Policymakers and civil servants are at the front lines of decision-making on emerging technologies such as AI. Recognizing the valuable role they play in the AI governance ecosystem, Stanford HAI has developed specialized training programs to meet their needs.
AI + Policy Symposium: A Global Stocktaking
Concerns over the societal impacts of generative AI are prompting a flurry of regulatory and policy responses globally, with initiatives underway in the EU, China, Brazil, Japan, Singapore, the UK, and the US, as well as through multilateral organizations such as the UN, OECD, the African Union, and ASEAN. Proposals range widely, reflecting competing political philosophies.

Health care providers struggle to catch early signals of cognitive decline. AI and computational neuroscientist Ehsan Adeli’s innovative computer vision tools may offer a solution.
HAI's white paper shows "Most major LLMs underperform for non-English—and especially low-resource—languages; are not attuned to relevant cultural contexts; and are not accessible in parts of the Global South."
Stanford HAI's 2025 AI Index provides insights in AI advancements.
We have a historical opportunity and responsibility to establish a human-centered framework
for AI research, education, practice and policy.

Stanford scholars leverage physicians to evaluate 11 large language models in real-world settings.
In Design, Human-Computer Interaction
In today’s robot revolution, a record 3.1 million robots are now working in factories, doing everything from assembling computers to packing goods and monitoring air quality and performance.
Research
We invited 11 sci-fi filmmakers and AI researchers to Stanford for Stories for the Future, a day-and-a-half experiment in fostering new narratives about AI. Researchers shared perspectives on AI and filmmakers reflected on the challenges of writing AI narratives. Together researcher-writer pairs transformed a research paper into a written scene. The challenge? Each scene had to include an AI manifestation, but could not be about the personhood of AI or AI as a threat. Read the results of this project.
