SaferAI is seeking a Policy Associate to join our policy team. Ideal candidates will possess strong stakeholder management skills, the ability to strategically and rapidly execute our policy objectives amid evolving policy landscapes, and the capacity to quickly grasp complex technical AI safety concepts.
SaferAI is a fast-moving, mission-driven organization advancing and promoting AI risk management to reduce AI risks, in particular extreme risks from advanced AI systems. We’re uniquely positioned at the intersection of technical research work and policy, ensuring that the knowledge we produce has an impact on AI risk management.
As a primary contributor to EU standards and GPAI Code of Practice, the only NGO member of a G7 OECD task force in charge of writing a reporting framework for frontier AI, and a founding member of the US AI Safety Institute Consortium, we are responsible for significant contributions to AI risk management of general purpose AI models in the policy realm.
Our technical work is key to maintaining and furthering the unique expertise we bring to governments and companies. We released the first AI risk management framework combining traditional risk management and frontier AI safety policies, cited by NVIDIA’s risk assessment work. We co-drafted the G42 risk management policy. We developed the first AI risk management rating system for AI companies’ risk management practices, featured in TIME and Euractiv, informing the decisions of major investors. We are currently leading a large project on AI risk modeling, in collaboration with expert domains from e.g. cybersecurity.
You will join a team led by Chloé Touzet, our Policy Lead and interact with our Senior Advisor Cornelia Kutterer to advance our policy objectives.
