Bio
Nikola Moore is a linguistics researcher and recent graduate (Class of 2025) from the University of Pennsylvania, where she also completed graduate study with research interests spanning sycophancy, calibration gaps, computational pragmatics, anthropomorphism, and theoretical linguistics. Originally from central Europe and fluent in seven languages (including two programming languages), she has focused her academic work on the intersection of linguistics and large language models. At Penn, she spearheaded "The New Mind" workshop series on the safety and social impact of AI and LLMs, funded by a Draw Down the Lightning grant from the Penn Linguistics Society, attracting around 100 participants and featuring speakers from OpenAI and the AI Governance and Safety Institute. She also led the AI4Good Research Incubator and presented theoretical linguistics research at the FASL 33 conference. In 2024, she received a $5,000 grant from the Long-Term Future Fund to run a 9-month programme helping language and cognition scientists repurpose their existing skills for longtermist research.
