Thanks to the skill and persistence of @POTUS, @VP, and our allies, Paul Whelan, Evan Gershkovich, Alsu Kurmasheva, and Vladimir Kara-Murza are being released from Russian custody. It’s a tremendous diplomatic achievement, and we’re grateful that they’ll be back home with their families where they belong.

Loved chatting with students @sophfuji @bryanhpchiang @isabelle_levent @siddrrsh on how Silicon Valley's AI boom has found traction on Stanford's campus, too.

They say this new wave has democratized who gets to talk about AI— and who gets to innovate.
