Stanford Team Wins $10M Laude Moonshot Grant for Human-AI Collaboration Research
Stanford HAI announced that Diyi Yang, Tatsu Hashimoto, Erik Brynjolfsson, Chris Piech and their students have received a $10 million Moonshot grant from the Laude Institute to launch the "Collaborative Intelligence for the Future of Work" project, studying how humans can collaborate with AI agents.
Confirmed
- The funder is the Laude Institute; the $10 million grant falls under the workforce retraining category of the Laude Moonshots // ONE program
- The project is led by an interdisciplinary team combining economist Erik Brynjolfsson with several Stanford NLP/HAI researchers (Diyi Yang, Tatsu Hashimoto, Chris Piech) and their students
- The research focuses on human-AI collaboration, the future of work, and workforce retraining in the AI era, as an alternative path to pure automation-driven replacement
Why it matters
- By combining economics with NLP/AI perspectives, the project zeroes in on the role and retraining of human workers as AI agents become ubiquitous—a key empirical direction in today's debate over AI's impact on jobs
- A Moonshot grant at the $10 million scale signals the funder's commitment to a "collaboration over replacement" technical路线, and could advance related human-AI collaboration methods and evaluation frameworks
