I study the potential for artificial intelligence to trigger a world war and how to prevent that from happening. Currently I'm finishing my DPhil at Oxford and working with @aigioxfordmartin.bsky.social.

The future of AI governance may hinge on our ability to develop trusted and effective ways to make credible claims about AI systems. This new report expands our understanding of the verification challenge and maps out compelling areas for further work. ⬇️
Governing AI requires international agreements, but cooperation can be risky if there’s no basis for trust.
Our new report looks at how to verify compliance with AI agreements without sacrificing national security.
This is neither impossible nor trivial.🧵

The cynical attempt to turn the complexities of post-colonial diasporic identities into a political attack got under my skin more than I expected, and I guess it’s because so many of us live in the mess and the nuance of not being clearly legible.

The conditions that have led to what’s happening in the US today exist in democracies around the world.
They are an inevitable outcome of our collective failure to adapt to fundamental changes in the information ecosystem on which our democracies were originally built.
