Hi! Iām Rosie šĀ
Iām passionate about transformative technology and its potential to radically improve the future.
Iām interested in the intersection of economics and ethics, and more generally in designing systems to achieve good outcomes. I think a lot about systems, productivity, incentive structures, mechanism design, AI, futurism, effective altruism, morality, science, and rationality, among other things.
Career
I am the Managing Director of Eleos AI Research, a non-profit dedicated to understanding and addressing the potential wellbeing and moral patienthood of AI systems.
Previously I was a policy researcher at OpenAI, where I lead the Policy Frontiers team and worked on AGI readiness. I was also Head of Safety-Critical AI at the Partnership on AI, where I focused on responsible publication practices for increasingly advanced AI research. Before that, I was Assistant Director of the Center for Human-Compatible AI at UC Berkeley, and a Research Engineer at BBC R&D. I cofounded Manchester Futurists, and Iāve studied Physics, Philosophy, Computer Science, and Machine Learning.
Personality
In terms of the big 5, Iām high on openness, conscientiousness, and agreeableness; Iām medium on extraversion and low on neuroticism.
I value epistemic rigor; I think itās really difficult to actually know anything but tools like statistics, Bayesā theroem, being evidence-based, and understanding cognitive biases can help.
Iām fascinated by scams, cults, MLMs, pseudoscience, conspiracies, etc.
Iām frustrated by things that arenāt as good as they could be and spend a lot of time reading and thinking about ideas for improving the world.
Iām flexitarian - I try to eat mostly plant-based primarily for animal suffering reasons but found veganism too difficult to sustain - this is my pragmatic compromise.
I love bright colors, classic rock music, firepits, bread, and red wine.
I enjoy dancing (mostly salsa) and have recently been getting into power-lifting.
I have grapheme-color synaesthesia.
I often experiment with ways to simplify and improve my life and I procrastinate by reading about productivity.
Currently, Iām studying economics and thinking a lot about things like public goods, coordination problems, collective action problems, game theory, etc, and how they intersect with ethics.
I live in the San Francisco Bay Area, and am originally from the UK. I enjoy noticing little cultural differences.
