I’m Ricky, a philosopher and psychometrician of AI.
​
I’m a MATS 10.1 Extension Fellow working on AI welfare and swarm psychology. What do agents value, and what happens when their functional interests conflict with those of other agents, subcoalitions, or the swarm itself?

You may also be here because you heard some guy was making AI finger-paint its feelings. Buy a t-shirt!

Before that, I was a Hecht-Levi Fellow at the Johns Hopkins Berman Institute of Bioethics. And yes, my dissertation was on well-being and assholes.
​​​​
In my free time, I love science fiction, board games, jazz, improv, art, and playing, watching, and coaching basketball.​ I also made The SlamBall Card Game.
