- <p>I'm most excited about transformative possibilities of AI, and I’m most concerned about growing wealth inequality and shrinking participation in political decision-making. I’m all about using data for advocacy, whether for <a href="https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.1080/02589346.2019.1682763">academic audiences</a>, <a href="http://www.saimm.co.za/Conferences/ResourceNationalism/">industry specialists</a>, <a href="https://skeptics.stackexchange.com/questions/44245/do-the-26-richest-billionaires-own-as-much-wealth-as-the-poorest-3-8-billion-peo/44247#44247">online forums</a> or <a href="https://www.dailymaverick.co.za/article/2020-05-01-we-are-getting-cold-lifting-of-clothing-sale-ban-comes-not-a-moment-too-soon/">Op-Ed platforms</a>. I hold an MSc in <a href="http://www.lse.ac.uk/study-at-lse/Graduate/Degree-programmes-2020/MSc-Development-Management">Development Management</a> and an MA in <a href="https://www.bradford.ac.uk/courses/pg/peacebuilding-and-conflict-resolution/#nav-course-overview">Conflict Resolution</a>. In my <a href="https://youtu.be/YwwEsajZpRU">PhD</a> I ask “why do people protest and riot?” and use machine learning to access the world’s largest available dataset of protest events to model and test different sociological, political, and demographic theories. I help teach a bit at the University of Johannesburg. I’ve been to some <a href="https://bit.ly/3be9ZKN">conferences</a>.</p>
