As artificial intelligence rapidly advances, ensuring its safety is becoming one of the most critical challenges for humanity’s future.
Jan Betley researches AI safety, focusing on Large Language Models' self-awareness and implicit knowledge. His work explores how LLMs understand their own behaviors and goals, and how specific training methods can lead to emergent misalignment, informing our approach to AI risk. As an experienced researcher in this domain, he will invite us to think through how AI can fail.
