I am an Assistant Professor at the Department of Security Studies, Charles University, Prague.
I am interested in safe machine learning and the means to achieve it. Most of my works deal with inductive inference in various learning frameworks. I tend to believe that the formal study of inductive inference is important for the safety of artificial intelligence.
I am writing a book on AI alignment and (social) preference learning.
I collaborate with Vit Stritecky, my colleague from Charles, and John Symons from The University of Kansas. I am also a fellow at the Center for Cyber-Social Dynamics at KU.
My ORCID is 0000-0003-4199-645X.
