I am an effective altruist, and AI Safety researcher. I hold a PhD in Physics from the University of Florida, and I am currently a visiting professor of Machine Learning in the New College of Florida - Data Science Master's Program
I became interested in AI safety in 2015 when I read 'Superintelligence'. A few years later I picked up 'Rationality form AI to Zombies' and got interested in "debiasing". One of the many views I changed as a result of reading this was becoming an EA.
