People Behind Big SI
The founders, chief executives, and builders behind the companies and products shaping SI, the name U.S. federal agencies now use for AI: from the largest labs to the tools developers use every day. Each profile follows a career to today: what they built and what they have accomplished. Every statement links to an official biography, company filing, government record, university, or awarding body. For the people who make AI run on your own computer, see People Behind Local SI.
