Overview of Research

My current research is focused on the following inter-related core areas:

Responsible AI

The proliferation and AI and machine learning in almost all facets of daily life has brought to the fore, the problems of algorithmic decision making, unintended consequences of automation of decision making and nudging, bias and discrimination among other issues. My current research is focused on Responsible AI, especially as it pertains to ethics, accountability, fairness and transparency in AI and machine learning.

Fairness in AI

Foundations of Artificial Intelligence

I am greatly interested in the foundations of artificial intelligence and machine learning from a cross-discilinary perspective i.e., how can physics, cognitive science and neuroscience can help us understand the foundations of Artificial Intelligence.
