Exploring the Philosophy of AI, Economics, and Social Ontology

This page is a small archive of the questions I keep returning to, and the work that has come out of them so far.

My interest in Philosophy began long before my actual academic journey and has accompanied me from my earliest years in High School to my recent completion of a Masters programme at LSE. I believe that approaching questions from a philosophical lens offers something my earlier training in Economics and Finance could not. They allow us to question more challenges at a more fundamental level: What is it to understand something, what makes a system intelligent, what kinds of things are entitled to moral consideration and so forth. The arrival of large language models has, for me, made this work feel newly urgent.
