I am Research Assistant Professor @ Lingnan University, Department of Philosophy, co-director of MA Program 'Artificial Intelligence & the Future', and research fellow/treasurer @ Hong Kong Catastrophic Risk Centre & POCFS. Here's my CV, Google Scholar, and email: adrianyee@ln.edu.hk.
Research
I study global issues concerning artificial intelligence [AI], economics [E], and political philosophy [P]. Recently, this has involved adversarial applications of AI, including automated misinformation detection, the ethics of automated weapons, and negative externalities in social media recommendation systems. I have secondary research interests in all things related to poverty methodology. I strive to be informed by the natural & social sciences, world history, exposure to the fine arts, and close engagement with real world issues.
