I’m an assistant professor at Carnegie Mellon and research scientist at Google Deepmind.
My appointment is in the Language Technologies Institute, but I’m broadly interested in how AI is and could soon be affecting how we as humans learn, communicate with each, build tools, and build trust in systems and eachother.
For a while now, I’ve wanted to create a place for I and my students and friends to post things we’ve been thinking about. My goal is to encourage myself (and my students) to do more low-stakes writing. Hopefully, this blog ends up as a platform for us to write about ideas, positions, and projects that don’t fit neatly into an AI conference paper.</p>

<p>I don’t really use the social media platforms other AI researchers like to post their opinions on (and I don’t like to be bound by character length restrictions anyway), so consider this my replacement for the typical AI practioner’s opinionated social media account.</p>

<p>If you have any thoughts or comments about any of the posts on this blog, please send me an email with <code class="language-plaintext highlighter-rouge">[BLOG]</code> in the subject line (to ensure I see it).</p>

<p>And if you’re reading this initial post, and it’s been years since there’s been an update, I apologize that my ambitions with this blog lost in their confrontation with the realities of my limited time and energy.</p>
