What if the greatest technological breakthrough in human history also turned out to be the last invention humanity ever created? That question sits at the heart of Roman Yampolskiy’s worldview, and unlike many of the industry’s leading researchers, he believes the answer deserves far more attention than it receives.

Congratulations to the Berkeley Artificial Intelligence Research (BAIR) Lab class of 2026! This year, BAIR celebrates another remarkable group of Ph.D. graduates whose curiosity, creativity, and perseverance have pushed the frontiers of artificial intelligence and machine learning.
Their work spans the breadth of modern AI — robotics and embodied intelligence, large language models and reasoning, computer vision, generative modeling, AI safety, human-AI interaction, AI for science and healthcare, and much more. Along the way, they have published influential research, built systems with real-world impact, mentored their peers, and shaped the BAIR community for the better.
Now they are headed everywhere ideas travel: to faculty and postdoctoral positions, to industry research labs, and to startups of their own founding — and several are still exploring what comes next and would love to hear from you.
Please join us in celebrating the achievements of these wonderful graduates. We are prou
