I am a Research Fellow at the Centre for the Governance of AI (GovAI), where I work on threat modelling.
Previously, I worked at the Future of Humanity Institute in Oxford. From 2018 to 2020, I worked closely with Toby Ord on his book The Precipice: Existential Risk and the Future of Humanity. In 2022, I wrote Future Matters, a newsletter about existential risk and the long-term future, with Pablo Stafforini. From 2018 to 2021, I wrote about AI governance for Jack Clark’s weekly newsletter, Import AI. Before all this, I was an equities analyst, researching cement companies.
