About me

Hi! I’m Julian. I work on the AI governance and policy team at Open Philanthropy, a philanthropic funder with a mission to help others as much as we can with the resources available to us. Previously I was a researcher at the Centre for the Governance of AI.

I’m interested in figuring out how the world can better prepare for the arrival of AI systems that are vastly smarter than humans. This blog is where I write about various things related to this.

My high-level view on AI is pretty straightforward: though predicting how future technologies will impact the world is notoriously tricky, I think it is very likely that AI is going to be a Big Fucking Deal. Things might get pretty crazy within the next few years, and I don’t think we’re quite ready.
