Hello everyone,
I am Wajahat. I did my Bachelors in Electrical Engineering, during and after that time I did a few internships at research centers and found myself more gravitated towards studying AI so I did a Masters in AI. My research area was Multimodal learning specifically application of multimodal models such as CLIP in image restoration and medical image generation (PET from MRI) and its interpretability. During that time I also learned about mechanistic interpretability and then found my growing interest towards AI safety.
Although I think of myself as very optimistic but I believe that AI has the potential of producing huge opportunities as well as problems, and in the worst case scenario pushing us (humans) towards inevitable doomsday. I am currently studying more in depth about AI safety from programs such as Bluedot, Neel Nanda's blogs and Lens Academy (more resources are appreciated).
Well that was kinda my introduction, now how did I find lesswrong? Actually I first heard its name from Claude (yes, the AI chatbot from Anthropic) when I asked that are there some online forums in which people discuss stuff about philosophy and rationality. After that I kinda forgot about it but recently came back and want to put more effort here and hopefully post some stuff here that other people will find useful and also someday become a full member of AI Alignment forum and make a career in AI Safety.
Thanks for reading and hope you have a good day :)
