Ian Eisenberg

I'm an AI researcher and leader focused on system-level interventions to make AI more effective and beneficial. I lead Technical AI Governance Research at Credo AI and founded the Ai Salon to invigorate civil society discussion around AI. I've contributed to initiatives like the NIST AI Risk Management Framework, MLCommons AI Safety, and Partnership on AI working groups.

I'm motivated by AI's transformative potential and the risks that derive from that power. While inspired by its positive possibilities, I believe we currently underinvest in risk mitigation and focus my time there.

Before AI governance, I was a cognitive neuroscientist—earning my PhD at Stanford and researching at the NIH, Columbia, and Brown. I've worked as a computational social scientist and machine learning engineer, which gives me both technical depth and a pragmatic view toward AI development.

If you're reading this far, know that outside of these serious things I highly value play. You can often find me juggling, drawing, making music, and exploring trails and ideas with others.
