- Details
- Kevin Leyton-Brown is a professor of Computer Science and a Distinguished University Scholar at the University of British Columbia. He also holds a Canada CIFAR AI Chair at the Alberta Machine Intelligence Institute and is an associate member of the Vancouver School of Economics. He received a PhD and an M.Sc. from Stanford University (2003; 2001) and a B.Sc. from McMaster University (1998). He studies artificial intelligence, mostly at the intersection of machine learning and either the design and operation of electronic markets or the design of heuristic algorithms. He is increasingly interested in large language models, particularly as components of agent architectures. He believes we have both a moral obligation and a historical opportunity to leverage AI to benefit underserved communities, particularly in the developing world.
