Hi! Welcome to my personal website.
My professional life currently revolves around AI governance. I’m a PhD candidate at the University of Cambridge, Coordinator of the ILINA Program, and Research Affiliate with both the Centre for the Study of Existential Risk (University of Cambridge) and Institute for Law and AI.
I also teach a bunch of classes at Strathmore Law School in Nairobi, where I’ve been twice elected best lecturer by the graduating class.
My academic background is in law (undergraduate law degree from Strathmore Law School and Master of Laws degree from Harvard Law School) so I’m pretty comfortable doing legal research. Beyond that, I’m also comfortable engaging on/ doing work related to other fields – for example public policy, decision theory or the history of political and economic thought.
Right now, my biggest hottake is that everyone should be seriously concerned about AI because AI systems are set to thoroughly reshape the world, even potentially posing existential threats. We need to figure out how to manage it responsibly ASAP.
When I’m not losing my mind or working I’m probably sleeping, watching something like Severance or Avatar: the Last Airbender, reading long form pieces, taking walks or marvelling at cityscapes.
