He focuses on building the conceptual and methodological framework for evaluating the cognitive capabilities of Artificial Intelligence, drawing on philosophy, psychology, and computer science. His work has sought to clarify how we should conduct behavioural experiments on reinforcement learning agents, to better understand what they are capable of and to identify key failure modes. During his PhD he has worked closely with the Animal-AI team and the RECoG-AI team.
