Andre Ye

I am an incoming MIT EECS PhD student & PD Soros Fellow working in human-AI interaction, advised by Mitchell Gordon. I want to build AI concept tools that help us define and collaborate on concepts (personal, ethical, political, scientific, …) in the form of neologisms , metaphors, connections, graphs, and more. I want to find AI-readable formats and operations for representing (trans-?)humanist concepts — with wacky, creative, speculative human-AI interactions. My philosophical interests are in philosophies that center the structuring role of concepts in life and thought, e.g. Deleuze, Foucault, Sellars.
