Philippe Rivet is a Canadian electrical engineer based in Toronto, Ontario, who has pursued applied technical AI alignment research. He received an NSERC Undergraduate Student Research Award during his undergraduate studies and later completed studies related to machine learning and AI safety, including coursework from Dan Hendryck's ML Safety program. His GitHub profile reflects interests in evolutionary computing, reinforcement learning, interpretability, and AI alignment. He has described his path as a "costly attempt at AI safety research" and has since considered earning-to-give as an alternative contribution to effective altruism. He received a $10,000 grant in support of applied technical AI alignment research. He is active in the effective altruism community, having published a post on the EA Forum titled "The Highly Sensitive EA," and maintains interests in contemplative practice and philosophy.

Matthias Georg Mayer is an independent researcher and mathematician working in AI safety, with a focus on agent foundations and providing formal guarantees for the safety of AI systems. He was a 2025 Alumni Fellow at Principles of Intelligence (PIBBSS), where he worked on theoretical alignment research. His earlier work centered on structural independence, a generalization of d-separation concepts applied to structural causal models (also known as Finite Factored Sets), and he co-authored the paper "Factored space models: Towards causality between levels of abstraction" (arXiv 2412.02579, December 2024) alongside Scott Garrabrant, Magdalena Wache, Leon Lang, Sam Eisenstat, and Holger Dell. More recently his interests have shifted toward the Learning Theoretic Agenda developed by Vanessa Kosoy, with particular focus on Infrabayesian-Physicalism as a means to address embedded agency. He has received funding from the Long-Term Future Fund (LTFF) to research framing computational systems in ways that surface meaningful concepts. He participates in the AI alignment community through the Alignment Forum and LessWrong under the handle matthias-g-mayer.
