I'm a researcher at the Meaning Alignment Institute, which I co-founded in 2023 with support from OpenAI. We research the new institutions we need for a world with powerful AI to feel great to be alive in.
Before that, I worked on AI-assisted democracy at the AI Objectives Institute, co-founded a startup called Potential, and wrote software at Kry.
I'm interested in the philosophy of values, economic history, questions of integrity and how to balance power with wisdom.
