About Me

Hi, I'm Rohin! I work as a Research Scientist on the technical AGI safety team at DeepMind. I completed my PhD at the Center for Human-Compatible AI at UC Berkeley, where I worked on building AI systems that can learn to assist a human user, even if they don't initially know what the user wants.

I'm particularly interested in big picture questions about artificial intelligence. What techniques will we use to build human-level AI systems? How will their deployment affect the world? What can we do to make this deployment go better? I write up summaries and thoughts about recent work tackling these questions in the Alignment Newsletter.

I am involved with Effective Altruism (EA), and out of concern for animal welfare, I am almost vegan. In my free time, I enjoy puzzles, board games, and karaoke. You can email me at rohinmshah@gmail.com, though if you want to ask me about careers in AI alignment, you should read my FAQ first.
