Simon Goldstein is an Associate Professor at the University of Hong Kong. His research focuses on AI safety, epistemology, and philosophy of language. Before moving to Hong Kong University, he worked at the Center for AI Safety, the Dianoia Institute of Philosophy, and at Lingnan University in Hong Kong. He received his BA from Yale, and his PhD from Rutgers, where he wrote a dissertation about dynamic semantics.
Classic arguments about AI risk imagined AIs pursuing arbitrary and hard-to-comprehend goals. Large Language Models aren't like that, but they pose risks of their own.
