Dan Valentine

TeamIndividual
Individual

Dan Valentine is a Member of Technical Staff at Anthropic, where he works on AI safety and alignment research with a focus on scalable oversight. He previously worked as a full-stack software engineer in Toronto, Canada, before transitioning into technical alignment research with support from the Long-Term Future Fund. He participated in MATS Summer 2023 (cohort 4.0) under the mentorship of Ethan Perez. During and after MATS, he contributed to research on debate as a scalable oversight method, co-authoring "Debating with More Persuasive LLMs Leads to More Truthful Answers" (ICML 2024 Best Paper/Oral), which demonstrated that LLM debate helps both non-expert models and humans answer difficult questions more accurately. He is also a co-author on "Failures to Find Transferable Image Jailbreaks Between Vision-Language Models" (ICLR 2025), and contributed to earlier work on mesa-optimization using toy models (AISC8, 2023). Prior to focusing on AI safety, he studied at Dublin City University (2009-2013) and was involved in organizing the Toronto AI Safety community.

Robert Kirk

TeamIndividual
Individual

Robert Kirk is a Research Scientist at the UK AI Security Institute (AISI), where he is the acting lead of the alignment red-teaming sub-team, focusing on stress-testing model alignment to detect and understand model propensities relevant to loss-of-control risks. He completed his PhD at UCL's DARK Lab in January 2025, supervised by Tim Rocktäschel and Edward Grefenstette, with his dissertation on generalisation in LLM fine-tuning and reinforcement learning agents. Prior to his PhD he received an integrated Master's in Mathematics and Computer Science from Somerville College, Oxford, and worked as a software and infrastructure engineer at Smarkets. His research centers on generalisation in reinforcement learning, out-of-distribution robustness, AI safety and alignment, and evaluating the effects of RLHF on language model behaviour and diversity. He received a Long-Term Future Fund grant to perform human evaluations for evaluating different machine learning methods for aligning language models, and his paper "Understanding the Effects of RLHF on LLM Generalisation and Diversity" (2023) is widely cited in the alignment research community. He also contributes to the Alignment Newsletter covering interpretability and reinforcement learning, and serves as a mentor in the MATS program for the UKAISI red-teaming stream.

Artyom (Artem) Karpov is an independent AI safety researcher and ML engineer based in Istanbul, Turkey. He holds a degree in Applied Mathematics and has over 15 years of software engineering experience, having previously built real-time emergency response systems and contributed to .NET Core. He transitioned to AI safety research in 2022 after becoming interested in the field through the 80,000 Hours career guide, and has since completed the MATS, ARENA, MLSS, and Apart Fellowship programs. He participated in AI Safety Camp (2023), where he worked on the project "Inducing Human-Like Biases in Moral Reasoning Language Models," which resulted in a paper accepted at a NeurIPS workshop. His subsequent research has focused on LLM steganography and encoded reasoning in chain-of-thought, with papers accepted at AAAI, ICLR, and NeurIPS workshops. He has received early-career funding from Open Philanthropy (via Good Ventures Foundation) and has contributed evaluations to the UK AI Security Institute.

Lukas Berglund is an AI safety researcher currently serving as Technical Staff at the U.S. Center for AI Standards and Innovation (CAISI) at NIST. He is best known as the lead author of "The Reversal Curse: LLMs trained on 'A is B' fail to learn 'B is A'," published at ICLR 2024, which demonstrated a fundamental generalization failure in autoregressive large language models. He also co-authored "Taken out of context: On measuring situational awareness in LLMs," an influential paper exploring how models recognize whether they are in training or deployment.
