The Kempner Institute for the Study of Natural and Artificial Intelligence at Harvard University announced today the formation of its scientific advisory board (SAB), composed of visionaries in the fields of artificial intelligence, machine learning, and computational biology.

The six members of the new board will meet with Kempner leadership, including Co-directors Bernardo Sabatini and Sham Kakade, to discuss the Institutes scientific and engineering objectives.

Members of the Kempners scientific advisory board are:

The creation of the scientific advisory board marks an important step in the Kempner Institutes development and expanding vision.

We are grateful that this distinguished group of leaders will advise the Kempner Institute as it pushes the frontiers of knowledge while taking advantage of rapid advances in areas like generative AI, said Alan M. Garber, Harvard University provost and chair of the Kempner Institute Oversight Committee. The institute has already made rapid progress under Bernardo and Shams leadership. With the help of leading thinkers who have such deep and broad expertise, the Kempner will ensure that its research and teaching activities have the greatest impact.

Members of the Kempners SAB will serve for an initial term of two years beginning in September 2024.

TheKempner Instituteseeks to understand the basis of intelligence in natural and artificial systems by recruiting and training future generations of researchers to study intelligence from biological, cognitive, engineering, and computational perspectives. Its bold premise is that the fields of natural and artificial intelligence are intimately interconnected; the next generation of artificial intelligence (AI) will require the same principles that our brains use for fast, flexible natural reasoning, and understanding how our brains compute and reason can be elucidated by theories developed for AI.
