What is Matters of Scale?

Matters of Scale is a publication that helps policymakers understand the AI revolution. I write about U.S. AI policy, break down the science behind AI systems and assessments/evaluations, and explore recent developments in the AI industry.

You can read Matters of Scale at scal.ing (yes, that’s a website URL!).

Who are you?

Matters of Scale is written by me (Kevin Wei). I am a lawyer-scientist based at GovAI, the Centre for the Governance of AI; I am also affiliated with RAND and Oxford University’s Martin School AI Governance Initiative. My research includes over a dozen peer-reviewed articles in top AI publications, with features in the Financial Times, MIT Tech Review China, Lawfare, and CSET.

Previously, I was a visiting research scientist at the UK AI Security Institute and a program manager at a cloud company. I received my J.D. from Harvard Law School, M.S. in Computer Science from the Georgia Institute of Technology, Master’s in Global Affairs from Tsinghua University (as a Schwarzman Scholar), and B.A. in Mathematics-Statistics from Columbia University.
