Michael Yang is an artificial intelligence researcher transitioning into policy. He is primarily interested in helping democracies use and regulate AI. Michael started his career as a research engineer at Salesforce. His investigation of bias in customer data sparked an interest in machine learning, which led him to research machine learning bias and fairness as a Ph.D. candidate.
