Former quant, now working in AI safety

London, England
With support from @MATSprogram and @BlueDotImpact I’m running a mixer event in London for quants who are concerned about AI risks in the evening of 15th Nov. Come meet researchers working in the field (including @NeelNanda5 , MTSs from Anthropic, Apollo Research, and more)! Travel from Europe covered. Apply here by 1st Nov (takes less than 10 minutes) - forms.gle/pL3UjPeWc2yswfM99 Limited space, so earlier applications are prioritised.
Recently I left quant to work on AI safety. The Huggingface Incident made me extremely concerned that we are not set up to handle the risks. I wrote my this post for people in a similar position to me - why you *can* have impact and how to get started - briandavies.substack.com/p/a…
