Navigating the Frontiers of AI

I have spent most of my career working in AI and machine learning. Over time, I became increasingly interested in the social, ethical, and philosophical implications of AI—both its potential to help solve humanity’s greatest challenges and its risks if not developed thoughtfully. In this program, I will explore topics around AI safety and alignment, as well as how AI impacts our society.

Nature-Loving Adventurer

I enjoy being out in nature and especially looking for wildlife. I’m particularly interested in how different species have evolved to adapt to their environments. I love pondering the unique characteristics that set species apart, as well as the surprising similarities they share with humans. I once lived in the heart of the Australian outback where I had the opportunity to watch some amazing wildlife. Another source of joy is in reading thought-provoking blog posts that offer clarity on complex topics I’ve long grappled with or articulate ideas I’ve struggled to put into words. There’s something deeply satisfying about those ‘aha!’ moments when a new perspective clicks into place.
