Hi, I'm Richard. I'm an independent AI researcher and philosopher. Previously, I was a research engineer on the AGI safety team at DeepMind and worked on the Governance team at OpenAI.

The best place to follow my current research is my blog, Mind the Future. I also post research-related thoughts on this twitter account.
