About

I'm a researcher in human and artificial intelligence, interested in how we describe systems that think and feel.

My background is in cognitive and computational linguistics + the philosophy of mind and language.

My work is broadly critical of attempts to reduce biological intelligence to data processing.

Brains ≠ computers.

Consulting

Since 2019, I've worked in private industry on problems like AI alignment and knowledge representation.

I now offer consulting services for startups that need help building bridges between tech stack and product strategy.

I'm based in London and Cambridge, UK.

Let's talk about working together.

Writing

I'm currently working on a book about pseudoscience in AI.

I write the Culture and Anarchy newsletter, where I look at problems of intelligence through the lenses of naturalism, pragmatism and Daoism.

I've also published academic work on the biological origins of language.
