Rosalyn Moran

Moran moved to Virginia Tech Carilion School of Medicine and Research Institute in 2012,^[5] where she spent four years as an assistant professor. She returned to the United Kingdom in 2016 and joined the University of Bristol as a senior lecturer.^[6] In 2018, she was made associate professor at King's College London. She became deputy director of the King's Institute for Artificial Intelligence in 2022.^{[citation needed]}

Moran's research combines artificial intelligence, Bayesian inference and experimental neurobiology to understand brain connectivity and neural processing.^[7] She is interested in how neurotransmitters (e.g. noradrenaline, serotonin) in decision making. She uses deep networks to model diseases, with a focus on neurodegenerative diseases and schizophrenia.^[8]

Moran has investigated the free energy principle, an all-purpose mode of the brain and human behaviour. The free energy principle is based on surprise minimisation, brains work to minimise free energy. Moran has argued that the free energy principle offers an alternative rationale for generative artificial intelligence.^[9]

Moran is the CEO of Stanhope AI.
