I’m Ricky--AI researcher, philosopher, statistician.
​
I’m a MATS Extension Fellow working with Patrick Butlin on AI welfare. I’m studying agent-to-agent interactions in long-horizon deployments, but you may also be here because you heard some guy was making AI finger-paint its feelings.

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.
