Our commencement speaker, De Kai, is the author of the award-winning book Raising Al and a pioneering AI professor who built the web’s first global AI translator by inventing radical new language models, laying the groundwork for tools like Google Translate and Bing Translator. De Kai was honored by the Association for Computational Linguistics as a Founding Fellow for his decades of breakthroughs, which lie at the intersection of language, AI, cognition, and ethics. He is the Independent Director of AI ethics think tank The Future Society.

De Kai’s father, the late Dr. Chia-Wei Woo, was a theoretical physicist and university president. He was a 1956 Georgetown College Graduate who fiercely championed the liberal arts ideals that have rippled through to De Kai’s own work.
