Garrett Baker

TeamIndividual
IndividualManifund

Garrett Baker is an independent AI alignment researcher based in Berkeley, CA. He works on using singular learning theory (SLT), neuroscience, and reinforcement learning to build mathematically grounded theories for how values develop during training in ML systems. He has participated in the MATS program twice — as a MATS 3.0 scholar working on mechanistic interpretability of maze-solving agents under Alex Turner, and in the MATS 5.0/5.1 developmental interpretability stream — and has received funding via Manifund for both a MATS stipend and a full-time research salary. His research investigates epoch-wise critical periods in neural networks through an SLT lens, explores connections between ML inductive biases and neuroscience, and aims to create training stories that could produce inner-aligned AI. He is an active contributor to LessWrong and the AI Alignment Forum under the handle d0themath, with over 77 posts and 6,600 karma.

Mateusz Bagiński is a Polish AI safety researcher currently based in Tallinn, Estonia. He holds a BSc and MSc in cognitive science, and previously worked as a programmer at a startup developing software for enhancing collective sense-making. He transitioned into technical AI safety research after completing his dissertation, receiving a Long-Term Future Fund grant to skill up and gain experience working on AI safety full-time. In 2024, he was a PIBBSS Fellow mentored by Tsvi Benson-Tilsen (ex-MIRI), where he conducted a conceptual investigation of the core drivers of goal-achieving mental activity using the hermeneutic net method, presenting preliminary results at the PIBBSS Symposium '24 under the title "Fixing our concepts to understand minds and agency." His research focus is on theoretical and agent foundations work. He is active on LessWrong and the EA Forum, and has co-authored posts on AI safety policy including arguments for why safety-concerned researchers at capabilities labs should speak out publicly. He is the organizer of the AFFINE Superintelligence Alignment Seminar, a five-weekend intensive program in Hostačov, Czech Republic bringing together approximately 35 participants with leading mentors in the field.

Naoya Okamoto is an early-career researcher exploring AI safety and alignment, based in the United States. They graduated from Fordham University in 2023 and have a background in proof-based mathematics. Inspired by Brian Christian's book The Alignment Problem, Okamoto pursued upskilling in machine learning through the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign's Mathematics of Machine Learning course in summer 2023, funded by a Long-Term Future Fund grant. After exploring theoretical alignment research, they shifted focus toward empirical alignment research, working through the MLAB curriculum in 2024. They have also interned at the U.S.-Japan Council and volunteered with the Human Restoration Project, a progressive education nonprofit. Outside of AI safety, they are interested in AI policy advocacy and biosecurity.
