Joe Collman is a Technical AI Governance Researcher at the Machine Intelligence Research Institute (MIRI), where he joined the Technical Governance Team in late 2024. He holds a Bachelor's degree in Mathematics from the University of Warwick (2000-2004). His research career in AI safety began with a focus on AI Safety via Debate and iterated amplification, including a stint as a Collaborating Researcher at OpenAI in early 2020 working specifically on AI Safety via Debate, and multiple grants from the Long-Term Future Fund supporting independent research on debate algorithms and human alignment in amplification. He has also served as Technical Lead and AI Safety cause area manager at the Stanford Existential Risks Initiative, as a Technical Generalist at the Berkeley Existential Risk Initiative, and as a Teaching Fellow for BlueDot Impact's AI Safety Fundamentals course. At MIRI, he co-authored "Existing Safety Frameworks Imply Unreasonable Confidence" (2025), arguing that current AI lab safety frameworks reflect systematic overconfidence. He is an active contributor to the Alignment Forum and LessWrong under the handle joe-collman.

Teun van der Weij is a Dutch AI safety researcher and Member of Technical Staff at Apollo Research in Zurich, where he focuses on evaluating AI capabilities and propensities related to scheming and AI control. He completed an MSc at Utrecht University (2022-2024) and a BSc summa cum laude at University College Groningen (2018-2021). He was a scholar in the MATS 5.0 program, where he researched sandbagging and how personas affect the cognition of language models under mentor Francis Rhys Ward. His most prominent work is the paper "AI Sandbagging: Language Models can Strategically Underperform on Evaluations," published at ICLR 2025, which demonstrated that frontier models like GPT-4 and Claude 3 Opus can be prompted or fine-tuned to selectively hide capabilities during evaluations. He also co-authored earlier work on shutdown avoidance in language models and activation steering. In addition to his research role, he co-founded the European Network for AI Safety (ENAIS) and serves on its board.
