Morgan Rogers

Morgan Rogers is a mathematician and Maître de conférences (Associate Professor) in computer science at LIPN (Laboratoire d'Informatique de Paris Nord), Université Sorbonne Paris Nord, based in Villetaneuse, France. He holds bachelor's and master's degrees in mathematics from the University of Cambridge and completed his PhD at the Università degli Studi dell'Insubria (Como, Italy) in 2021, with a thesis on toposes of monoid actions supervised by Professor Olivia Caramello. His academic research focuses on category theory and topos theory, with applications to models of lambda-calculus and descriptive complexity theory. In parallel, Rogers has engaged with AI alignment research through the AI Alignment Forum and LessWrong, receiving funding from the Long-Term Future Fund for a project to clarify and formalize the concept of goal-directedness, supervised by Adam Shimi. This work produced a sequence of posts applying formal mathematical approaches to the question of what it means for an agent to be goal-directed, connecting his category theory background to foundational questions in AI safety.
