Jake Robertson



I'm a Master's student, machine learner, and early-career researcher, fascinated about the legal, ethical, and philosophical intersections of AI and society. Currently I'm working on socio-technical problems in machine learning such as interpretability and fairness. Check out my work below!

About Me

I finished my Bachelor's of Computing at Queen's University in 2021 and am currently working on my Master's in Computer Science (Artificial Intelligence) at the University of Freiburg, where I work as a research assistant (HiWi) in the Freiburg Machine Learning Lab. The final year of my Master's degree is fully funded by the Konrad Zuse School of Excellence in Learning and Intelligent systems (ELIZA).
