Bottom line

The roster lists 35 people on the University of California (UC) AI Council, each with a short biography.
The council has two co-chairs. Alex Bui is Director of the Medical & Imaging Informatics group at UCLA. Alexander Bustamante is UC’s Senior Vice President and Chief Compliance and Audit Officer.
Members’ titles include chief information officers, privacy officers, counsel, procurement directors, compliance staff and professors.

Background

The page is in the AI Communities section of the UC AI website. It has two parts. The first part, “Council Co-Chairs, Subcommittee Co-Chairs, Senior Advisors”, has nine entries. The second part, “Members”, has 28 entries. Two people, Shanda Hunt and Jennifer Lofthus, appear in both parts, so the page names 35 people.

The first part holds these roles, as the headings and biographies give them:

two council co-chairs, Alex Bui and Alexander Bustamante;
three subcommittee co-chairs: Joe Sabado (UC Santa Barbara) for Innovation and Impact, and Rolin Moe (UCOP) and Zainab Shakoor (UC Davis) for Risk and Transparency;
Van Williams, UC Vice President of Information Technology Services and Chief Information Officer, as senior advisor to the Innovation and Impact subcommittee;
three staff of the UCOP Office of Ethics, Compliance and Audit Services as advisors and special assistant.

The “Members” part marks two people as ex officio. They are Cora Han, Chief Health Data Officer for UC Health, and Hillary Noll Kalay of the UC Office of General Counsel.

Evidence and method

An institutional roster with biographies. Each entry gives a name and one or more paragraphs of career history. The page gives no terms of office, appointment process, meeting schedule or charter. This library page does not copy the full list of members.

Limits

The page does not say who chooses the members or how long they serve. It does not say which subcommittee most members sit on. It names the Risk and Transparency subcommittee, but the UC AI Council subcommittees (web) page uses other names for the subcommittees. The page does not mention compute, funding or CalCompute.

⚠️ Contradiction: This roster says two people co-chair the “Risk and Transparency subcommittee”. The UC AI Council subcommittees (web) page names “Risk and Transparency; and Awareness and Education” as two subcommittees in its first paragraph, then describes one “Subcommittee on Risk, Transparency, and Awareness”. The UC AI governance and transparency (web) page names an “AI Council’s Subcommittee on Transparency”.
