Dave Banerjee
Welcome! I am a summer fellow at Centre for the Governance of AI, where I research compute governance. Previously, I was a participant in ARENA 5.0, hardware security research assistant through the SPAR program, and security engineer at a hedge fund. I recently graduated from Columbia University in December 2024, where I studied computer science.
My academic interests lie in AI safety & governance, hardware & software security, (meta)ethics, physics, and cognitive science. My primary goal is improve the welfare of sentient beings, and I think one of the best ways for securing a flourishing future is to ensure that the transition to a world with transformative AI goes well. I’m also interested in issues like wild animal welfare and factory farming.
