David Dalrymple

David A. Dalrymple (also known as “davidad”) came to the Future of Humanity Institute to develop an idealized mathematical model of normative deliberation, analogous to Bayesian updating as a model of descriptive deliberation, or to expected-utility maximization as a model of instrumental deliberation. He believes modern algorithmic and mathematical frameworks, such as category theory and optimal transport, are ripe to be applied to advance the frontier on deep metaphilosophical questions—especially where AI is concerned.
