About
The intersection of technology, science and policies of societal importance
John A. Scarlett, MD brings a long history of innovation, leadership and communication skills in science-driven businesses. His primary interests today are at the intersection of technology, science and policy, where confusing jargon, groupthink and narrow perspectives are common.
The particular focus for Chip’s Substack podcasts and public commentary include AI consciousness and mechanistic interpretability, neural processing in human and in silico minds, and regulatory safety conundrums arising from the unique nature of rapidly evolving artificial intelligences.
