Software Engineering & AI Economics

Philipp Petermeier

About

I'm a Research Software Engineer and Full Stack Developer, fascinated by systems of all kinds: biological, social, technological. How they work, why they fail, how they solve information flow and how we might design better ones.

Professionally, that means building software and working with data, mostly around machine learning and complex system modeling - business or elsewhere. The Skills section has a more detailed overview if you are interested in potential collaborations.

The rest of this place collects my interests and outputs. I publish my writing as Infornomics. A lot is me talking to myself, trying to understand things better by writing them down.

I'd say the main themes are philosophy and ethics, social theory and management of complexity.

I'm based in Berlin, where I also research AI's economic implications: how we make decisions under uncertainty and how technological progress shapes the futures we face.

Current & recent research

Fall 2026 · Ongoing

Current — SPAR

I’m participating in Mapping Cost Trajectories of AI-Adjacent Technologies, investigating how technology costs and performance evolve and what that means for AI’s development and diffusion.

April–September 2026 · Completed

Completed — Safe AI Germany

From April to September 2026, I explored economic decision-making under uncertainty about AI’s future. The project produced an interactive career-decision tool, a published report, and a conference presentation.
