Stanford professor Fei-Fei Li, known as the 'Godmother of AI' and leader of the Stanford Institute for Human-Centered AI (HAI), said that tools do not have independent values—their values are human values. In an interview for the journal Issues in Science and Technology, she explained that AI reflects the values instilled by its builders and users, rather than being an independent intelligence. Li’s thesis on responsible AI centers on recognizing that AI, as any tool, can both empower and harm humans. HAI is an interdisciplinary research center focused on guiding AI development to benefit humanity and avoid harm. The article also notes increased emphasis on whether to regulate AI nationally or globally, though progress occurs at different paces and inconsistently across regions. Different nations or groups may wish to instill values into AI models that clash with the values of others.
