Jared Moore works to make AI systems do what we want. He is a PhD student in computer science at Stanford University focusing on social reasoning and alignment. He studies the social abilities of large language models (LLMs), such as whether they can use theory of mind and their tendencies toward deception.
Recently, he taught a class, “How to Make a Moral Agent”. He also wrote a satirical novel about AI.
He has published in AI and NLP venues as well as in the cognitive sciences. His work has been covered by outlets from the New York Times to Futurism to USA Today. He is a fellow at the Stanford Center for Affective Science and is funded by the Stanford Interdisciplinary Graduate Fellowship.
Before Stanford, Jared lectured at the University of Washington on the math, philosophy, and ethics of AI. He has also worked at the Allen Institute for AI, Xnor.ai, and Wadhwani AI.
