CALLUM HACKETT
I’m a researcher in human and artificial intelligence, interested in how we describe systems that think and feel. My work is based in cognitive linguistics, computer science and philosophy, and I broadly support the view that human intelligence is not reducible to data processing.
AI Consulting
Since 2019, I’ve worked in private industry on AI alignment and reasoning systems. I also offer consulting services to UK startups that need help building bridges between tech stack and product strategy. Here’s an example of a talk I gave on the promise of neurosymbolic models for enterprises.
Writing
I’m currently drafting a book on pseudoscience in the AI industry and I write Culture and Anarchy, a newsletter about human progress viewed through the lenses of naturalism, pragmatism and Daoism. I’ve also published academic work on the biological origins of language.
