We're building a talent-dense, high-agency AI safety team at Lila that will engage all core teams within the organization (science, model training, lab integration, etc.), to identify and mitigate risks from scientific superintelligence while retaining the core scientific discovery capabilities of the stack. The initial focus of this team will be to build and implement a bespoke safety strategy for Lila, tailored to its specific goals and deployment strategies. This will involve technical safety strategy development, broader ecosystem engagement, safety-focused evaluations, safety systems to mitigate risks, and a research agenda that explores longer-term needs such as oversight of superintelligent scientific systems.
As scientific AI systems become more capable and autonomous, their safety assessment and safeguards must develop alongside them. At Lila Sciences, you will help build the research methods and tools that make this possible, so that more and more decision-enablers can be automated safely. This will move us closer to the vision of a safety and security apparatus that is robust to a fully autonomous scientific engine.
Your initial focus will be misuse: developing flexible...
