After 4 years as an Assistant Professor at the University of Toronto, Tegan Maharaj has recently returned to Montréal as a core professor at Mila, where they run the ERRATA* lab (Ecological Risk & Responsible AI; Theory and Practice) *learning from mistakes. A member of the Abundant Intelligences project, co-founding member of Climate Change AI, managing editor at JMLR, fellow of Schwartz Reisman centre for Society and Technology and alum fellow of the Cambridge Centre for the Study of Existential Risk, their research helps build the growing science of responsible AI while applying AI to ecological problems including biodiversity, climate change, epidemiology, safety, risk and impact assessments, and anticolonial AI. Maharaj is increasingly interested in fundamentally different ways of creating, communicating about, and understanding AI, including novel theoretical approaches, research-creation, and participatory integration of traditional ecological knowledge in modelling.
