Stuart Russell

Stuart Russell portrait

Professor at UC Berkeley

🇬🇧 British

Russell co-wrote Artificial Intelligence: A Modern Approach, a foundational textbook that helped standardize how AI is taught. His later work asks how to build systems whose objectives remain uncertain and corrigible, so they continue to defer to human preferences rather than pursuing a fixed goal at any cost.
