How people are chosen
By the office they hold, not by fame or influence: heads of AI regulators and authorities, ministers responsible for AI, sponsors and rapporteurs of AI laws on record, heads of public AI safety institutes, and the people leading AI work at international and standards bodies. A profile gives the role, what official sources say the person did in it, related laws on this site, public statements on official pages, and the sources. It carries no photograph and nothing private. Every profile is pending review until a reviewer confirms it. To correct a profile or ask for one to be removed, use the correction form.
