Marc-Everin Carauleanu

TeamIndividual
Individual

Marc-Everin Carauleanu is an AI safety researcher and Chief Scientist at AE Studio, based in Oxford, United Kingdom. He holds a BSc in Artificial Intelligence from Oxford Brookes University. He has previously been a Summer Research Fellow at the Stanford Existential Risk Initiative (SERI) in 2021, a Student Researcher at the Center for AI Safety (CAIS) in 2022, and received an LTFF grant in 2021 to write a paper on cognitive and evolutionary insights for AI alignment. His primary research agenda focuses on operationalizing "self-other overlap" — a concept from the cognitive neuroscience of empathy — as a mechanism to reduce deceptive behavior in AI systems. He co-authored the paper "Towards Safe and Honest AI Agents with Neural Self-Other Overlap" (arXiv:2412.16325), which was presented at the NeurIPS 2024 Safe Generative AI Workshop and demonstrated significant reductions in deceptive responses across multiple large language models.

Alex Altair

TeamIndividual
Individual

Alex Altair (also known as Alex Powell Altair) is an independent AI alignment researcher based in Berkeley, California, specializing in agent foundations. He leads Dovetail Research, a group whose mission is to help humanity safely navigate the creation of powerful AI systems through foundational mathematics research. He was previously a MIRI fellow, a MATS scholar, and an AI Safety Camp research lead, and is a two-time college dropout who attended Worcester Polytechnic Institute and the University of Maine. His research focuses on the agent structure problem, optimization frameworks, Solomonoff induction, and abstract entropy as they relate to understanding the nature of agency and its implications for AI alignment. He has been conducting independent AI alignment research in agent foundations since early 2022 and has received funding from the Long-Term Future Fund (LTFF) for this work. He is an active contributor to LessWrong and the AI Alignment Forum, where he has published over 70 posts.

Chris Patrick

TeamIndividual
Individual

Chris Patrick is a science writer who received a $5,000 stipend from the Long-Term Future Fund (LTFF) in June 2022 to produce a guide about AI safety researchers and their recent work, targeted to interested laypeople. Working in collaboration with EA Forum user Justis (who provided editing and subject-matter support), Patrick aimed to bridge the gap between introductory AI safety explainers and highly technical blog posts by interviewing researchers and producing accessible writeups. The project resulted in at least one published piece, "AI Safety Concepts Writeup: WebGPT," posted on the EA Forum and LessWrong in August 2023, which covered Jacob Hilton's work on WebGPT at OpenAI. The grant notes described Patrick as the primary recipient with high-level science writing talent.
