AXA joins Stanford HAI Corporate Affiliate Program
The Stanford Institute for Human-Centered AI has announced that the global insurance group AXA has joined as a member of the Stanford HAI Corporate Affiliate Program.
The program brings industry together with Stanford faculty to explore research, policy and education opportunities around responsibly building and implementing artificial intelligence.
As a new member, the AXA Group will work with faculty and students to better understand and leverage human-centered artificial intelligence. The AXA Group is particularly interested in research topics relevant to the insurance sector and society at large, such as the use of AI to quantify sustainability metrics and analyse prediction capabilities, as well as to improve large language model reasoning and the robustness of machine learning in areas including fairness, bias and interpretability.
James Landay, HAI Co-director said: “Stanford HAI’s mission is to ensure that we properly design and build human-centered AI to have positive human impacts. This is imperative in the insurance and financial industries; AI will have major impacts on this field and everyone from customers to employees to the communities they live in.”
Alexander Vollert, Group Chief Operating Officer and CEO of AXA Group Operations, said: “We are delighted to enter the HAI corporate affiliates program at a time when artificial intelligence is changing the world at an unprecedented pace and unlocking previously unimagined possibilities.”
He added: “As a global insurer with a strong track record in implementing AI solutions, we’re eager to support this important research into the development of AI models that are trustworthy, human-centric and sustainable for our clients, industry and society as a whole.”
The HAI Corporate Affiliate Program engages with companies that share HAI’s mission to advance AI research, education, policy, and practice to improve the human condition. The program provides the opportunity for these companies to interact with Stanford faculty as well as other corporate members, through educational experiences, lectures, research, and more.
