About Me

Hello, I'm Sonny George. I am currently finishing my Master's at Brandeis University and am seeking research and other opportunities in the space of action-taking AI.

Much of future impactful AI will require some form of active embodiment, reflection, and continual learning. In contrast, the “intelligence” of today's AI systems tends to be static and task-specific.

I am excited by the development of AI systems that:

Plan and act in uncertain environments
Adapt to novel tasks/situations with inference-time-feasible efficiency and without catastrophic forgetting/interference
Are sufficiently interpretable and manipulable to be useful and aligned with human preferences

For such systems, many bottlenecks remain: perception (visual, sensorimotor, etc.), manipulation, planning with world-dynamics models, open-ended learning algorithms (intrinsic curiosity objectives), interpretability, and more.
