Roger Grosse is an Associate Professor in the Department of Computer Science at the University of Toronto and holds the Schwartz Reisman Chair in Technology and Society. He is a founding member of the Vector Institute and a member of the Technical Staff Alignment Science Team at Anthropic. His research focuses on understanding the dynamics of neural network training and improving aspects such as training speed, generalization, and uncertainty estimation, as well as automating hyperparameter tuning. In the rapidly advancing field of artificial intelligence, Grosse aims to ensure that AI systems are robustly aligned with human values. He explores various critical questions, including how to efficiently identify the training examples responsible for unexpected behaviors exhibited by AI systems, ensuring the safety of powerful AI systems against strategic deception, and how to elicit reliable information when models have incomplete trust. Furthermore, he investigates mechanisms for efficiently removing dangerous, unwanted information from trained models.
