Bio

Dr Paris Buttfield-Addison is a game designer, writer, artist, technical product leader, and computer scientist based in Hobart, Tasmania. His work sits at the intersection of technology, policy, and human behaviour, drawing on a background in computer science, law, and medieval history. He’s completing a law degree because he wanted to understand how regulation actually works, particularly for AI.

Paris is the co-founder of Secret Lab Pty. Ltd., an award-winning game development studio best known for the BAFTA- and IGF-winning Night in the Woods, as well as developing iPad games for ABC Play School and the ‘Joey Playbox’ for Qantas.
