Thinking carefully about the development of moral AI systems — what it looks like, what the process entails, and what it means for the world.
About
I studied philosophy at the University of Michigan, where I became preoccupied with a question that is no longer theoretical: when we build AI systems, whose values get encoded into them — and how? That question sits at the intersection of everything I care about: ethical reasoning, technology policy, and precise writing on complex problems. Right now I'm building financial fluency and sharpening my risk analysis skills at Gregory J. Schwartz & Co., while actively pursuing roles in AI ethics, data governance, and policy.

I write about AI ethics, value alignment, and the policy questions that matter most as AI becomes infrastructural. Subscribe on Substack to follow along.
Value Alignment
Whose values does a language model reflect?
On RLHF, constitutional AI, and the choices that get made before a model ever reaches a user.
AI Policy
The governance gap in generative AI
Existing frameworks weren't built for systems that can reason. What does meaningful AI governance actually look like?
Philosophy
Moral reasoning as a design problem
If we're building machines that make ethical judgments, we need to be honest about the philosophy we're encoding.
AI Governance
The race no one wants to win
Why the collective action problem at the heart of AI development means that one actor's unsafe choice can force everyone else's hand — and what that demands of regulators and developers alike.
