MIRI has a new COO: Malo Bourgon - Machine Intelligence Research Institute

I'm happy to announce that Malo Bourgon, formerly a program management analyst at MIRI, has taken on a new leadership role as our chief operating officer. As MIRI's second-in-command, Malo will be taking over a lot of the hands-on work of coordinating our day-to-day activities: supervising our ops team, planning events, managing our finances, and overseeing internal systems. He'll also be assisting me in organizational strategy and outreach work. Prior to joining MIRI, Malo studied electrical, software, and systems engineering at the University of Guelph in Ontario. His professional interests included climate change mitigation, and during his master's, he worked on a project to reduce waste through online detection of inefficient electric motors.
