RegrantorManifund

CEO and co-founder of Apollo Research. An AI safety organization he co-founded in May 2023 that specializes in evaluating dangerous capabilities and deceptive behaviors in frontier AI models. He holds a PhD in Bayesian Machine Learning from the International Max-Planck Research School in Tübingen, as well as an M.Sc. in Machine Learning and dual B.Sc. degrees in Computer Science and Cognitive Science from the University of Tübingen. Prior to founding Apollo Research, he was a Research Fellow at Epoch AI (June 2022–April 2023), where he worked on AI forecasting. His research at Apollo focuses on scheming detection, AI control, and dangerous capability evaluations, and the organization collaborates with frontier labs including OpenAI and Anthropic as well as government bodies like the UK AI Security Institute. He serves as a mentor in the MATS program for AI safety researchers and became a Manifund regrantor in 2025. He was named to TIME's 100 Most Influential People in AI for 2025.

Paul Colognese

TeamIndividual
Individual

Paul Colognese is an AI safety researcher based in the United Kingdom, focused on understanding how AI systems represent and self-reflect on their goals and beliefs. He holds a PhD in Mathematics (Geometry, Topology, and Dynamical Systems) from the University of Warwick, where he researched translation surfaces under the supervision of Professor Mark Pollicott. His AI safety work includes building safety evaluations for Anthropic and the UK AI Security Institute, including control and sabotage evaluations that measure whether deployed AI agents could undermine safety systems. He has conducted AI threat modeling on catastrophic risk scenarios and carried out interpretability research in which he demonstrated the ability to detect an AI system's objectives through technical analysis. He participated in the MATS research program mentored by Evan Hubinger at Anthropic. He founded the London Initiative for Safe AI, a UK-based research center, and serves as AI Alignment Lead at the Center for the Study of Apparent Selves. He is active on LessWrong and the Alignment Forum, and participated in AI Safety Camp (AISC9) working on detecting agentic AI objectives via interpretability methods.

Samuel Brown

TeamIndividual
Individual

Sam F. Brown is an independent AI alignment researcher based in Oxford, UK. He has a background in physics and programming, and previously worked at a climate technology startup before pivoting to full-time alignment research. He has received two grants from the EA Long-Term Future Fund: an initial six-month grant (approximately £40,000) for research on goal-inference and choice-maximisation, and a subsequent twelve-month grant ($82,298) to research technical approaches to value lock-in and minimal paternalism. His work explores empowerment-based alignment — the idea of maximising humans' capacity to reach diverse future outcomes rather than inferring and locking in specific human values. He has published research essays on LessWrong and the EA Forum, including "The Empowerment of Others" and "Questions about Value Lock-in, Paternalism, and Empowerment". He is connected to the Oxford rationalist and EA community and works from spaces including Trajan House, the Centre for Effective Altruism's Oxford building.

Executive and Research Director of the Center for AI Safety (CAIS). A nonprofit research organization based in San Francisco focused on reducing societal-scale risks from artificial intelligence. He received a B.S. from the University of Chicago in 2018 and a Ph.D. in Computer Science from UC Berkeley in 2022, advised by Dawn Song and Jacob Steinhardt. His research spans machine learning safety, robustness, out-of-distribution detection, and AI ethics. He is the primary author of the GELU activation function (2016), which is widely used in state-of-the-art models including BERT and GPT, and created the MMLU (Massive Multitask Language Understanding) benchmark (2020), one of the most widely used LLM evaluation benchmarks. He also co-developed the MATH benchmark, Humanity's Last Exam (HLE), and authored the 2024 textbook Introduction to AI Safety, Ethics, and Society. He serves as a safety advisor to xAI and Scale AI, both at nominal compensation, and has received early-career funding from EA-aligned organizations for his work on value learning and AI alignment benchmarks.
