01 · Bio

A short version.

I've published cover stories in The Nation ("Confessions of a McKinsey Whistleblower") and Jacobin ("Can Humanity Survive AI?"). My work has appeared in The New York Times, Nature, Bloomberg, MIT Technology Review, BBC, TIME, The Guardian, The Verge, Vox, The Thomson Reuters Foundation, Le Monde Diplomatique, and elsewhere.

My reporting and commentary on AI has been shared by the three "godfathers" of deep learning (Yoshua Bengio, Yann LeCun, and Nobel laureate Geoffrey Hinton), noted AI critic Gary Marcus, Life 3.0 author Max Tegmark, and others. I've spoken about AI at Harvard, the Federation of American Scientists, and elsewhere.

My writing has been translated into Spanish, French, German, Portuguese, and Esperanto. It's been referenced in The New Yorker (by Ted Chiang), The New York Times, The Atlantic, Axios, ProPublica, The Brookings Institution, and elsewhere. I've appeared on CBS News Sunday Morning, System Update with Glenn Greenwald, The Majority Report, and The Weather Channel, and I host the podcast The Most Interesting People I Know.
