Carnegie Endowment for International Peace
Matt O’Shaughnessy is a visiting fellow in the Technology and International Affairs Program at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace, where he applies his technical background in machine learning to research on the geopolitics and global governance of technology. His current work, which is supported by the Open Philanthropy Technology Policy Fellowship, examines the impacts of artificial intelligence on democracy, inequality, and human rights.
Before joining the Carnegie Endowment, Matt received his PhD from Georgia Tech’s Center for Machine Learning, where he was supported by the National Defense Science and Engineering Graduate (NDSEG) Fellowship. His technical research developed mathematical tools that use structure hidden in data to help scientists understand complex systems, including applications in the efficient collection of high-dimensional data, explaining black-box machine learning systems, and causal inference.
