Moritz Hardt

MPI Tübingen; algorithmic fairness, evals

Director at the Max Planck Institute for Intelligent Systems; co-author of 'Fairness and Machine Learning' (free textbook). Recent work emphasizes the limits of static benchmarks under distribution shift and adaptive deployment.

Strategy positions

Evals-drivenmixed

Capability/risk evals gate deployment; evals are the load-bearing artefact

Argues current AI benchmarking is dangerously brittle: leaderboards reward overfitting to fixed test sets and obscure how models behave under shift. Calls for adaptive, externally validated evaluation.

Benchmarks are the most valuable lever in machine learning, and the field treats them as if they were neutral measurements rather than artefacts shaping research.
