Another amazing Keynote at #DLI2025 by @sanmikoyejo, Assistant Professor of Computer Science at @Stanford , Co-Founder of @VirtueAI_co , and President of @black_in_ai, on “Beyond Benchmarks: Building a Science of AI Measurement.” 🧪 Sanmi made a compelling case for moving beyond static benchmarks toward a rigorous science of AI measurement, one that is more reliable, scalable, and meaningful for guiding research, deployment, and policy.
