Hey! I’m the director of the Flourishing Intelligence Program (FLIP) at the University of Oxford. I’m also co-director of the Centre for Eudaimonia and Human Flourishing, Senior Researcher within Oxford’s Psychiatry Department, and fellow at Linacre College.
I’m obsessed with understanding the the brain, consciousness, artificial intelligence, and meditation. I think wisdom traditions hold some of the keys to aligning AI with human flourishing. My work has been featured in The New York Times, TIME, Scientific American, TEDx, Vice, ABC, Aeon, VOX, New Scientist, and in the Nature collection. Read a brief biography or follow on X.
I’m also writing on Substack:
1. Multiscale causality and the meaning crisis
2. Misaligned agents will lose
