Joe Kwon is an AI safety researcher and policy analyst based in Washington, DC. He holds a BS in Computer Science and Psychology from Yale University and has conducted research at MIT's Computational Cognitive Science Lab, where he studied moral and social cognition with Josh Tenenbaum and Sydney Levine. His technical background includes early RLHF work at OpenAI, empirical ML research at UC Berkeley with Jacob Steinhardt and Dan Hendrycks focused on evals and out-of-distribution detection, and a stint as a Research Engineer at LG AI Research working on multilingual large language models. He subsequently transitioned to AI governance work, completing a GovAI DC Fellowship focused on risks from internal AI deployment and automated R&D, and serving as a Technical Policy Analyst at the Center for AI Policy (CAIP). Most recently he has been an Astra Fellow working with Tom Davidson and Fabien Roger on threat modeling and ML experiments related to secretly loyal AI. He received a Long-Term Future Fund grant as a stipend to work on an ML safety project with the goal of joining an ML safety team full-time.

Kai Fronsdal

TeamIndividual
Individual

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. His primary research output from this period is the paper "MISR: Measuring Instrumental Self-Reasoning in Frontier Models" (NeurIPS 2024), which proposes evaluation tasks for assessing how well LLM agents can engage in instrumental self-reasoning across scenarios including self-modification and knowledge-seeking. He also contributed to Anthropic's alignment auditing tools as an Anthropic Fellow, co-authoring "Petri: An open-source auditing tool to accelerate AI safety research" and the Bloom behavioral evaluation framework, as well as AuditBench, a benchmark for evaluating alignment auditing techniques on models with hidden behaviors. He received a grant from the Long-Term Future Fund to conduct deceptive alignment evaluation research and explore control and mitigation strategies.
