United States, Washington

What we do:

While some aspects of safety can be formalized in software or process, many things require thinking and experience – things like threat modeling, identifying the right places and ways to mitigate risks, and building response strategies. In the world of AI safety, this requires an awareness and understanding of threats and risks far beyond those from traditional security; you don’t just need to worry about an access control failure, you need to worry about the user of your system having an abusive partner who’s spying on them.
