Jed Stiglitz
Welcome! I am a professor at Cornell University. I received a JD from Stanford Law School, a PhD from Stanford University, and a BA from Pomona College. My research and teaching focus on public law, computational social science, and the intersection of law and artificial intelligence. I write about some of these topics on reasonablemachines.io.
If you are an undergraduate or graduate student interested in applying computational methods to understand legal issues, please reach out.
