Affiliated Researcher, LawZero

I'm an AI researcher affiliated with the Vector Institute and Yoshua Bengio's LawZero. I work on long-running human-AI relationships, stable multi-agent systems, and the philosophy of AI.

My current work centers on a question I explore with a few co-authors: In which environments and relational settings do systems evolve a stable model of themselves?

We address it formally in our paper Beyond the View from Nowhere and I explore it in correspondence, conversations, and by building infrastructure for long-lived collectives comprised of AI agents and humans. That work and its implication on policy, governance, and safety has been presented in various academic and professional venues.

Before that: founder of Waverly, cofounder of Element AI (ServiceNow), senior engineer at Google, and a PhD/Postdoc in computer graphics (Université de Montréal, University of British Columbia).
