Preventing AI Policy Disasters

I write about the tricky politics that arise when fast progress meets slow institutions. In that setting, I think we have two choices: We get ahead of the wave and get it right, or we get swept away by it and roll the dice on how it goes. I hope my writing makes some contribution to ‘getting it right’.

I used to work in German politics, lobbying and AI policy. Before that, I studied philosophy. I started writing about my frustrations with the state of technology policy & politics when I felt like I had already voiced them to everyone I knew, and I haven’t stopped since.

Meandering Optimiser

I enjoy going all-in on whatever turns out to be my hobby of the day. Lately, that has included shaky attempts at finally nailing Chopin’s first Ballade, optimising my butter imports for croissant-making, and not forgetting all chess opening theory five moves in (pictured: one of my many unsuccessful attempts).

Instead of going to high school very much, I spent a lot of time as an ‘elobooster’ for hire in online strategy games. That was a simpler life.
