About AI murder mystery game creator
My name is Ravit Dotan. My approach to AI combines different parts of my background. Primarily these ones:
I'm a socially-oriented technologist. I build no-code AI tools to create the world I want to see, and I seek out people who want to do the same.
I'm an AI ethicist. I've worked with tech companies, investors, and local governments on responsible AI development, adoption, investment, and procurement. Practical responsibility is baked into everything I build and teach.
I'm a philosopher. I got my PhD from UC Berkeley, specializing in philosophy of machine learning, philosophy of science, and philosophy of knowledge. I've taught hundreds of people to think critically about worldviews and form their own.
All of this shapes how I think about and build AI. You can read more about me and follow my work on my blog and Linkedin page.
