About Me - colah's blog Christopher Olah I work on reverse engineering artificial neural networks into human understandable algorithms. I'm one of the co-founders of Anthropic , an AI lab focused on the safety of large models. Previously, I led interpretability research at OpenAI , worked at Google Brain , and co-founded Distill , a scientific journal focused on outstanding communication. My blog should not be taken to reflect the views of any organization I'm affiliated with.
