Fei-Fei Li
Stanford HAI co-director; 'godmother of AI'
Lobbied for the CREATE AI Act to establish the National AI Research Resource, a publicly funded compute-and-data pool for academic research.

India can lead AI for a billion people by treating it as digital public infrastructure, not as a product.
Paul Allen
Microsoft co-founder; founder of AI2 (posthumous)
Via AI2, funded open-science AI for common-good research; positioned as counterweight to proprietary labs.
