Sathish Gopalakrishnan

As a Wall Scholar, Sathish will explore questions related to how we, as individuals and societies, should understand risk in cyber-physical systems (CPS) and how that understanding can help us shape regulation and safety standards for the use of artificial intelligence and machine learning in CPSs. He hopes to make connections between engineering, ethics and culture, and use that learning to identify how we can positively influence public policy in an era of autonomous CPSs. Sathish is also keen to use this opportunity to work with others at UBC to create a course on public policy for graduate students in engineering.
