Analyzing thousands of human-AI conversations, a new study shows that people are turning to chatbots for increasingly critical tasks – and that productive outcomes depend on how the collaboration unfolds.

Benchmarks — the standardized tests that rank AI models on safety, bias, and reasoning — drive markets and shape regulation. New Stanford research finds they often don't measure what they claim to.

In a new series called Prompt Response, Stanford’s Surya Ganguli, Diyi Yang and Rob Reich examined emergent agent behavior, recursive self-improvement, independent evaluation and whether a kill switch can make advanced AI safer.

Companies That Buy and Sell Your Data Are Not Following California’s Strict Privacy Laws
A new Stanford study shows data brokers are making it difficult for consumers to submit privacy requests and failing to report how many privacy requests they receive.

New Stanford Grants Tackle AI's Impact on Global Security and Geopolitics
Stanford HAI and the Hoover Institution’s Technology Policy Accelerator back projects examining AI's role in detecting nuclear proliferation, U.S.-China competition, and political influence.

Open-Weight Models Aren’t Enough. We Need Truly Open Source AI Models for Science and Society.
As Chinese AI closes the capability gap, Washington and Silicon Valley debate open-weight models. Stanford HAI's James Landay says it's the right conversation framed the wrong way.

As artificial intelligence moves beyond language into the physical world through "world models," Stanford researchers warn that policymakers face an even steeper governance challenge than with large language models—and the window to get ahead of the technology is closing fast.

The Complexities of Governing Mental Health AI
Policymakers, academics, healthcare providers, AI developers, and patient advocates convened by Stanford HAI identify critical gaps in how we regulate AI tools used for therapy and emotional support.

Increasing reliance on language models for legal tasks have led to calls for more information about the likelihood and severity of potential errors. Realizing useful and robust transparency requires an institutional perspective, say the editors of a new special section in PNAS.

The AI Sovereignty Paradox: Should Countries Buy, Build, or Lease to Maintain Strategic Control of Their AI?
As nations invest billions to reduce reliance on foreign AI providers, a new Stanford HAI report surveys commercial sovereignty solutions and assesses the extent to which they meaningfully reduce dependencies on U.S. tech giants.

With increased use of chatbots in mental health contexts, AI developers now rely on human experts to evaluate AI’s responses for “safety” – but experts rarely agree on what’s safe.
