His primary career aim is to one day work with policy-makers, major technology firms and the general public to help devise feasible solutions to societal-scale risks and pressing policy matters arising from emerging AI-powered technologies, and to ultimately help steer their regulation and long-term ramifications towards optimal benefit for all members of society. Accordingly, some of hiscurrent research interests include:

1.  the democratisation of Al development and regulation;
