Senior Director, Frontier Strategy and Governance, Google DeepMind    
Distinguished Research Scientist, Google DeepMind   

Senior Advisor and Visiting Fellow, Oxford Martin AI Governance Initiative, University of Oxford

Founder and Trustee, Cooperative AI Foundation

Founder, Centre for the Governance of AI

I work on the safety and governance of frontier artificial intelligence.  My goal is to help guide the development of AI for the common good.  I believe the governance of AI is the most important issue of the century. I do this work at Google DeepMind, London.

I was the founding director and former president of the Centre for the Governance of AI (GovAI), which was founded at the University of Oxford and is now an independent nonprofit; founder and trustee of the Cooperative AI Foundation; and senior advisor and visiting fellow to the Oxford Martin AI Governance Initiative. 

Before 2016 (AlphaGo), I worked as a professor at Yale on great power peace. Specifically I studied the causes of the liberal peace, and the role of reputation and honor as motives for war. Along the way I developed statistical and methodological tools to enable more transparent, credible causal inference, teaching the cap-stone PhD statistical methods course in political science.
