Kai Fronsdal is an AI safety researcher based in the San Francisco Bay Area, currently affiliated with Meridian Research Labs. He completed a masters degree at Stanford University studying mathematics and computer science, where he was also involved with Stanford AI Alignment (SAIA). He participated in MATS 6.0 (Summer 2024) under the mentorship of David Lindner, focusing on measuring instrumental self-reasoning in frontier models as a precursor to deceptive alignment.
