Jay Chooi
I work on preparing society for powerful artificial intelligence.
Currently, I am a Research Fellow at MATS working on technical AI safety research. More broadly, my research interests are in forecasting physical automation, and how society can remain stable and flourish in a post-automation world.
In May 2026, I will graduate from Harvard with a Master's in Statistics and a Bachelor's in Computer Science and Mathematics. I was fortunate to be mentored by Professor Ariel Procaccia. My thesis, Computational Perspectives on Democracy in the Age of AI, was awarded Highest Honors.
I am a Rhodes Scholar for 2026. In 2024, my forecast for the US Presidential Election was correct in all 50 states. I am also a gold medalist at the 2021 International Olympiad in Astronomy and Astrophysics.
