Postdoctoral Scholar, Philosophy
BioWanheng Hu is an Embedded Ethics Fellow at Stanford University, jointly appointed by the McCoy Family Center for Ethics in Society, the Institute for Human-Centered Artificial Intelligence (HAI), and the Computer Science Department.
His research lies at the intersection of social studies of science, medicine, and technology; critical data/algorithm studies; media studies; and public engagement with science. His dissertation ethnographically examines the cultivation of credible machine learning models in complex expert practices, with an empirical focus on image-based diagnostics within the Chinese medical AI industry. Another line of his work focuses on the democratic engagement of ordinary citizens in technoscientific affairs, particularly concerning AI development.
Wanheng received his Ph.D. in Science and Technology Studies from Cornell University, where he also completed a minor in Media Studies and remains an active member of the Artificial Intelligence, Policy, and Practice (AIPP) initiative.
