Hey, I’m Philip Tomei, I work at the intersection of technology and human systems.
I currently lead research at AOI and am an AGI fellow at the Hopkins Bloomberg Centre in DC, where I work on human autonomy and the political economy of Artifical Intelligence. I also a co-founded and edit Pax Machina a publicaiton on post-AI institutional design.
My research covers issues like Human Agency, Economic Diffusion or the Financialisation of AI risk , I was recently a studio fellow of Antikythera a the Berggruen Institute where I focused more on the philosophy of technology. My background is in Cognitive Science and dynamical systems theory. I’ve run academic conferences, a record label, contemporary art exhibitions and written experimental fiction. I am keenly interested in Theology and occasionally consider a PhD in it.
I spend a lot of time speaking to machines and listening to humans. Otherwise, I dream about medieval choral music and winemaking.
Oh btw, here are some things I reckon are worth reading.
Amor fati.
