I’m an American technologist and expert generalist from Dallas, Texas. Originally trained in physics, I have deep skills in AI, cognitive science, and software architecture. I currently work for Amazon Web Services solving complex multi-dimensional problems, but my opinions are my own; I do not speak for them or any prior employer. Recently I’ve been active in defining broad information theory (BIT), a new extension of information theory that formalizes how solutions from one domain of knowledge can be transferred to others, and in researching the intersection between generative AI and cognitive science, in particularly defining a new strategy for AI alignment.
Note also: I’m currently collaborating with writing partner Lara Scheibling, see laradavidai.com
