Our team is growing! CMEP is thrilled to welcome two new full-time researchers to our ranks. First, Charles Beasley is a philosopher of science from the LSE. He asks questions like: How do nonhuman minds think? What is it like to be them? How should we relate to them?

While I am an "AI lab folk" I do agree that there are great opportunities to contribute also in the nonprofit and government sectors.
