Morgan Rogers is a mathematician and Maître de conférences (Associate Professor) in computer science at LIPN (Laboratoire d'Informatique de Paris Nord), Université Sorbonne Paris Nord, based in Villetaneuse, France. He holds bachelor's and master's degrees in mathematics from the University of Cambridge and completed his PhD at the Università degli Studi dell'Insubria (Como, Italy) in 2021, with a thesis on toposes of monoid actions supervised by Professor Olivia Caramello. His academic research focuses on category theory and topos theory, with applications to models of lambda-calculus and descriptive complexity theory. In parallel, Rogers has engaged with AI alignment research through the AI Alignment Forum and LessWrong, receiving funding from the Long-Term Future Fund for a project to clarify and formalize the concept of goal-directedness, supervised by Adam Shimi. This work produced a sequence of posts applying formal mathematical approaches to the question of what it means for an agent to be goal-directed, connecting his category theory background to foundational questions in AI safety.

Jannik Brinkmann is a PhD student in Computer Science at the University of Mannheim, Germany, advised by Christian Bartelt and Paul Swoboda. He holds an M.Sc. in Data Science (with distinction) and a B.Sc. in Computer Science, both from the University of Mannheim. His research focuses on mechanistic interpretability of neural networks, including sparse autoencoders, causal mediation analysis, and the internal mechanisms underlying multi-step reasoning and cross-lingual representations in large language models. He has worked as a visiting researcher in the interpretable neural networks group at Northeastern University under David Bau, and in the ML2 group at NYU under He He. He received a Long-Term Future Fund grant to support part-time interpretability research in collaboration with David Bau and Logan Riggs, resulting in work on improving sparse autoencoder training methods and measuring progress in dictionary learning for language model interpretability.

Marcus Williams is an AI safety researcher currently working on deception and scheming monitoring at OpenAI. He completed his Master's degree in engineering physics and machine learning at Lund University in 2023. After graduating, he worked at AI Safety Hub Oxford on a theoretical reinforcement learning project, co-authoring "On the Expressivity of Objective-Specification Formalisms in Reinforcement Learning," which was accepted at ICLR 2024. He received a Long-Term Future Fund grant for a six-month independent project on Multi-Objective Reinforcement Learning from AI Feedback (MORLAIF), which produced an arXiv paper demonstrating that decomposing preference modeling into multiple principles outperforms standard RLAIF baselines. In the MATS Summer 2024 cohort under mentor Micah Carroll, he researched annotator vulnerabilities and LLM influence on human preferences, resulting in the paper "Targeted Manipulation and Deception Emerge in LLMs Trained on User Feedback" (accepted at NeurIPS workshops). He is also a co-author on "Stress Testing Deliberative Alignment for Anti-Scheming Training" alongside researchers from OpenAI and Apollo Research.
