Letter from our Director
Welcome to the Stanford Artificial Intelligence Lab
The Stanford Artificial Intelligence Lab (SAIL) was founded by Prof. John McCarthy, one of the founding fathers of the field of AI. While the discipline of AI has transformed in many fundamental ways since its inception in the 1950s, SAIL remains a proud leading intellectual hub for scientists and engineers, an education Mecca for students, and a center of excellence for cutting edge research work.
