Google Deepmind’s New Resident Philosopher Tackles AI Ethics
IEEE Spectrum 1 day ago 14
Henry Shevlin moved from full-time philosophy academia to a role at Google DeepMind as a resident philosopher focused on AI ethics and human-AI relationships. He now spends 80 percent of his time at Google DeepMind. The work focus shifts toward fast, real-time engagement with LLMs and safety/ethics questions like autonomy and consciousness, rather than only university-based research.
