I am the Founder and CEO of an enterprise software company called Taiyō.AI. Taiyō.AI makes sense of the mess of data on the internet to help large infrastructure companies proactively manage opportunities and threats in a dynamic world.
This is a natural extension of my research that has focused on a systems architecture perspective to Artificial Intelligence (AI) and economics and how such systems can help humans make more sustainable investment and policy decisions in a complex and dynamic global environment. Previously, I served as the head of the AI Index at Stanford University's Institute for Human-Centered Artificial Intelligence (HAI), taught at graduate business and policy programs including at UC Berkeley, University of San Francisco, and as an economist at the World Bank, International Monetary Fund (IMF), and the International Finance Corporation (IFC) in Washington, DC. I am also a Visiting Fellow at the Bank of International Settlements (BIS), non-resident fellow at the Brookings Institution, OECD.AI member of AI experts.
My work has been featured in Bloomberg, the Economist, the Financial Times, VentureBeat, the Wall Street Journal, and am a frequent keynote speaker at business, policy, and academic conferences.
