Micah Benson

Micah studies the societal impacts of large language models (LLMs) as a PhD Student at Boston University's Faculty of Computing & Data Sciences. He uses interpretability methods to investigate how LLMs represent social concepts such as identity and politics, with the goal of developing techniques to improve model fairness. He also conducts audits that simulate new uses of LLMs to analyze potential benefits and risks of the technology. Before BU, Micah graduated from WashU with a double major in data science and English. Learn more about Micah
