Rishi Bommasani, SayashK and Arvind Narayanan Launch Nonprofit STABL for AI Societal Resilience
random_walker · x · 2026-11-11
Rishi Bommasani announced a new nonprofit, STABL, co-founded with Sayash Kapoor and Arvind Narayanan. The org rests on four beliefs: advanced AI will broadly transform society, ideally beneficially; transformation speed is bottlenecked more by people and organizations than by AI capabilities alone; managing AI risk therefore requires broad societal resilience—not just aligned models or capability delays—for defense in depth; and today's institutions are often ill-equipped for this. Peers praised the founders as among the best minds in AI.
