This role is on our board because we think it is an unusually effective way to spend a career. How we reason about it
Free to leave the Netherlands? Look at 80,000 Hours, Probably Good and EA Opportunities first — the strongest opportunities are there. Why we say this
This board is still in beta. The reason below is our judgement — tell us if you think we have it wrong. Give feedback
Why this is on the board
Lawmakers want powerful AI systems to be independently scrutinised, but how to carry out such an audit technically is still largely an open question. Whoever designs the tests and audit protocols now helps decide what regulators and standards committees will look for in every new model, at least if they adopt those methods.
About the role
Research frontier AI systems and develop rigorous third-party auditing methods for AI safety and security.

What do you make of this?
The board is still in beta, so this is exactly the moment to say what you think. A vacancy we have missed, a judgement you do not share, something that does not work — all of it helps.
