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
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/...
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]
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]
I'm grateful to the many technical & non-technical staff who prioritise public service and make AISI a world-leading—not just government-leading—technical group. As the stakes rise, we rlly need talented researchers working on behalf of public interest. https://www.aisi.gov.uk/ca…
I'm particularly grateful to my fellow red teamers, who are some of the most brilliant, humble, and moral people I know: Eric Winsor, @_robertkirk, @abbydcruz__, @giglema, @AlexandraSouly, Olli Jarviniemi, @kaifronsdal, @AsaCoopStick, @feynmanix, @RoganInglis, @jaipatelAISI [imag…
Good to see @nytimes recognise Britain's world-leading @AISecurityInst and the pioneering work it's doing to help governments understand and test frontier AI systems. Huge credit to my friends @soundboy and Jade Leung and the exceptional team they built. https://www.nytimes.com/.…
