I am the CEO and co-founder of FAR AI, an alignment research non-profit working to incubate and accelerate new alignment research agendas. I received my PhD from UC Berkeley under the supervision of Stuart Russell. I was fortunate to be part of the Center for Human-Compatible AI during my PhD and funded by an Open Philanthropy Fellowship. Previously, I’ve spent time at DeepMind working with Jan Leike and Geoffrey Irving, and Cambridge working with Zoubin Ghahramani and Christian Steinruecken. Please see my CV for a more comprehensive list of my prior experience.
