Rory Greig
I am a Research Engineer on the AGI Safety and Alignment team at Google DeepMind, working on Scalable Oversight techniques (e.g. Debate)
I have experience in machine learning, evolutionary computing, agent-based models, and high-performance simulation. I am interested in AI Safety, Complexity Science and Artificial Life (ALIFE)
