My research concerns safety in multi-agent systems and in practice spans game theory, machine learning, and verification. One aspect of this that I spend a lot of time thinking about is how to make AI systems more cooperative, which is the mission of the Cooperative AI Foundation , where I work. At Oxford I am supervised by Michael Wooldridge ,  Alessandro Abate , and Julian Gutierrez , and am a DPhil Affiliate at the Future of Humanity Institute . I am also affilated with both the Centre for the Governance

Ethically and politically, I could be considered part of the  effective altruism  community (yes, it's a strange name ), a humanist , and a Fabian (more generally, a democratic socialist ).
