James Mburu Muthii
I am an Part-Time Lecturer at Murang'a University of Technology in the Department of Computer Science. I am a postgraduate researcher at MUT working with Federated Learning.
My research focuses on principled approaches to privacy-preserving AI, combining insights from optimization, statistics, and economics to design trustworthy AI systems.
Research Interests
AI Safety & Privacy
What does it mean for complex AI systems to be safe or private? How can we audit, measure, and improve it? How can we measure and improve LLM behavior?
Role of Data in AI
What makes training data "good" and how do we define "good"? What makes for good benchmarks given we are far from the simple i.i.d. splits ML used to assume?
AI Ecosystems
How can we understand and shape the complex "machine behavior" arising from interacting humans and AI agents? How can we ensure the health of such ecosystems?
AI for Health
Can we translate these solutions to address bottlenecks for deploying AI in high-stakes healthcare settings?
