Hi! I’m Tejas. I am an AI strategy researcher at BlueDot Impact. Until recently, I studied economics, math, and philosophy at Stanford. In the past, I’ve worked on AI governance at the Stanford Existential Risks Initiative, FX at Bridgewater, and housing policy at J-PAL. I also plan to write at The Disagreement Theorem.

Currently, I’m thinking about what drives the motivations of powerful AI systems (e.g., behavioral selection, reflection), open-source game theory, and the economics of recursive self-improvement. If you have thoughts for me on those things, or ideas for research I should do, feel free to email me.
