GaŠper BeguŠ

I am an Associate Professor at the Department of Linguistics at UC Berkeley, where I’m also affiliated with the Institute of Cognitive and Brain Sciences. I work on interpretable AI and language in humans, animals, and machines.

In my research, I use human, animal, and machine intelligence to understand the inner workings of AI and to better understand what language is and how it is learned.

I am the PI of Berkeley Speech and Computation lab, where we are building the most realistic models of human language learning. We're creating artificial baby language learners.

I am a Linguistics Lead at Project CETI, a non-profit dedicated to listening to sperm whales.

I connect AI interpretability insights with the industry through InterpretAI.

As the College Principal of Bowles Hall, I lead the oldest residential college in the US and only one at UC Berkeley.
