A look at the UK's AI Safety Institute, whose researchers probe AI models for safety gaps, as its work becomes a blueprint for other governments' AI policies
The government's A.I. Security Institute, staffed by alumni from OpenAI and Google, is becoming a model for countries grappling with A.I.'s emerging risks.
What @AISecurityInst has built in such a short time is nothing short of remarkable. Many of the people in these roles have taken substantial pay cuts to be in government. The UK government has built something they, and many of us on the outside, believe deeply in
Great to see the @AISecurityInst profiled in today's @nytimes by @satariano. Excellent to see legends like @alxndrdavies and @JadeFLeung getting recognition for their work [image]
This makes me sad. “Ian Hogarth, a tech investor who co-founded the institute, was an early backer of Anthropic. To avoid a conflict of interest, he sold his Anthropic stake after he joined.” https://www.nytimes.com/...
I moved to London 3 years ago to join @AISecurityInst, at the time a few people with visitor passes and a whiteboard. Since then AISI has become the world's largest and best-funded group in gov focused on AI security & safety. Fun to be in @nytimes! [image]
