I’m a Staff Research Scientist at Google DeepMind, working on:

  1. Future impacts of AI. I’m building a new team trying to understand the potential societal impacts of AI. Reach out if you’re interested!

  2. AI to empower humans. AI can be used to augment human potential and human capital, e.g. via education and the information ecosystem, if we do it responsibly and inclusively.

  3. Science of AI. We try to understand modern AI systems as an object of study, much as neuroscientists and cognitive scientists try to understand the brain. A lot of my work focuses on in-context learning.

In my previous lives, I’ve done research in robotics, human memory and decision-making, and astrophysics. I’ve also done brain surgeries, built laser-optics rigs, and pitched to VCs.
