BioFrom his Cornell supercomputing PhD to nearly three decades at Intel—the last decade as VP/GM of AI & Analytics—Dr. Wei Li is a Stanford Adjunct Professor partnering with researchers, founders, VCs, and boards to bridge AI innovation with enterprise-scale impact.

Current Academic & Clinical Focus: As an Adjunct Professor at the Institute for Computational and Mathematical Engineering (ICME) and Affiliate Faculty at the Center for Artificial Intelligence in Medicine and Imaging (AIMI), Dr. Li specializes in AI strategy, enterprise governance, and commercial scale. His work centers on Innovation to Impact (I2I) and Trusted AI—bridging the gap between frontier technical research, clinical adoption, and real-world deployment. He collaborates across Stanford Engineering, Medicine, and Stanford Health Care for AI deployment in high-stakes environments.

Enterprise & Open Source Leadership: Prior to Stanford, Dr. Li spent nearly three decades at Intel Corporation, serving as Vice President and General Manager of AI & Analytics. In this role, he led global teams across 10+ countries building full-stack AI software platforms and hardware-software co-design that powered multi-billion-dollar product revenues. A long-time advocate for open science and industry oversight, he previously served on the governing boards of the PyTorch Foundation and Linux Foundation AI & Data alongside leaders from Meta, Google, OpenAI, Hugging Face, and Microsoft.

Scholarship & Academic Background: Dr. Li holds a Ph.D. in Computer Science from Cornell University in supercomputing research and completed executive education at the Stanford Graduate School of Business. He is a recipient of the ACM ASPLOS Best Paper Award, a former Associate Editor for ACM TOPLAS, and served as the Intel Executive Sponsor for Cornell University while sitting on the funding committee overseeing $20M in parallel computing research at UC Berkeley and UIUC.

Keynotes & Media Contributions: A prominent voice on AI strategy, enterprise deployment, and governance, Dr. Li is a frequent keynote speaker at major global forums—including CES, the World AI Summit, GITEX, and Harvard Business School. He also regularly contributes expert commentary to leading business and technology outlets, including Bloomberg, Forbes, and Fortune.
