My name is pronounced “YOO-ar SKULL-se” (the “e” is not silent). I have a PhD in computer science from Oxford University, and I was a member of the Future of Humanity Institute before it shut down. I have worked in several different areas of AI safety research. For a few highlights, see:

1. Towards Guaranteed Safe AI: A Framework for Ensuring Robust and Reliable AI Systems

2. Misspecification in Inverse Reinforcement Learning

3. STARC: A General Framework For Quantifying Differences Between Reward Functions

4. Risks from Learned Optimization in Advanced Machine Learning Systems

5. Is SGD a Bayesian sampler? Well, almost

My PhD thesis is available here. Some of my recent work on the theoretical foundations of reward learning is also described in this sequence.
