Tegan McCaslin is a generalist researcher working at the intersection of AI forecasting, AI strategy, and AI governance. She began her research career at AI Impacts in 2018, where she studied neuroscience topics relevant to AI timelines, including brain architecture and neuron counts across species. She received multiple Long-Term Future Fund grants (2019, and subsequently) to pursue independent research into AI forecasting and strategy questions, exploring topics such as whether AI capability development parallels biological evolution and the tractability of long-term forecasting. She went on to join the Forecasting Research Institute (FRI) as a core founding team member alongside Phil Tetlock, focusing on improving the quality and decision-relevance of forecasting questions and the challenges of forecasting on long timescales. She co-authored FRI's report on Conditional Trees as a method for generating informative AI risk forecasting questions, and served as a mentor for the Epoch and FRI mentorship program for women and non-binary people interested in AI forecasting. More recently, she has expanded into AI governance work, contributing to the STREAM (ChemBio) framework at the Centre for the Governance of AI (GovAI), a standard for transparently reporting AI model evaluations of chemical and biological capabilities.

Jacob Lagerros

TeamIndividual
Individual

Jacob Lagerros is the founder of Ulyssean, a company building integrated hardware and software systems to secure the infrastructure that trains and runs frontier AI models, with backing from leaders at Anthropic, DeepMind, Meta, and CrowdStrike. Originally from Stockholm, Sweden, he studied at the University of Oxford and partially completed an MSc in Economics and Finance at LSE before dropping out to work full-time on AI safety-related projects. He co-founded Lightcone Infrastructure, the parent organization of LessWrong, where he worked on the Campus team alongside Oliver Habryka and others. Earlier in his career, he co-directed EAGxOxford 2016, served as secretary of the Oxford Prioritisation Project, and received a Long-Term Future Fund grant in 2019 to build forecasting infrastructure giving x-risk researchers superforecasting ability with minimal overhead, collaborating with Metaculus and Ozzie Gooen on that project. He has since pivoted toward AI hardware security, co-leading the UK Secure Cluster, advising government bodies including the National Security Council on AI export controls, and presenting at the Paris AI Security Forum 2025.
