Lead Research Scientist/Engineer (Embedded Evaluations)

A frontier safety lab working to solve AI alignment, specifically failure modes related to scheming. @ApolloResearch Apollo Research is an AI safety organization. We specialize in auditing high-risk failure modes, particularly deceptive alignment, in large AI models. Our primary objective is to minimize catastrophic risks associated with advanced AI systems that may exhibit deceptive behavior, where misaligned models appear aligned in order to pursue their own objectives. Our approach involves conducting fundamental research on interpretability and behavioral model evaluations, which we then use to audit real-world models. Ultimately, our goal is to leverage interpretability tools for model evaluations, as we believe that examining model internals in combination with behavioral evaluations offers stronger safety assurances compared to behavioral evaluations alone.
