BEN GARFINKEL

I'm a researcher at the University of Oxford and direct the Centre for the Governance of AI, a non-profit research and field-building organization focused on the opportunities and risks posed by AI. My own research interests include the security implications of AI, the causes of war, and the methodological challenge of forecasting the impacts of emerging technologies.

I earned a degree in Physics and in Mathematics and Philosophy from Yale University, before studying for a DPhil in International Relations from the University of Oxford. My DPhil thesis focused on the role of economic growth in supporting international security.
