Alfie Lamerton

TeamIndividual
Individual

Alfie Lamerton is a UK-based AI safety researcher and founder of Formation Research, an organization focused on quantifying and minimizing lock-in risk — the risk that harmful or oppressive features of the world become permanently stabilized, particularly through AI-enabled authoritarianism and power concentration. He is also a part-time research assistant at King's College London working on clinical machine learning benchmarking, and holds an MSc from King's College London. He participated in the MARS (Mentorship in Alignment Research Students) London programme, through which he conducted a literature review on in-context learning hypotheses and their implications for automated AI alignment research, supported by a Long-Term Future Fund grant. His research interests span lock-in risks, recommender system alignment, AI-enabled totalitarianism, and governance-informed technical interventions. He writes about these topics on his Substack and has published related work on LessWrong.

Sangziwang

TeamIndividual
IndividualManifund

SangZi Wang is an independent researcher focused on LLM behavioral reliability, interaction dynamics, and runtime observability. With a background in reconstructive and plastic surgery, his work bridges long-term human-AI interaction observation with practical auditing methodologies for large language models. His current research explores how conversational environments, protocol structures, and long-context interactions influence model behavior over time. Core topics include: - behavioral drift in extended dialogue, - protocol-induced response distortion, - execution confidence vs epistemic confidence (EC–EpC gap), - cross-model behavioral comparison, - runtime observability and interaction ecology. Rather than focusing on AGI speculation, his work emphasizes measurable behavioral phenomena emerging in real-world interaction settings. He has released multiple public Zenodo preprints and datasets, maintains structured GitHub repositories, and develops open behavioral audit frameworks designed for reproducible evaluation across different LLM systems. His long-term goal is to build lightweight, modular infrastructures for AI behavioral auditing, interaction reliability analysis, and runtime governance that remain accessible to independent researchers outside large institutional labs.

Shashwat Goel is a first-year ELLIS PhD student at the ELLIS Institute and Max Planck Institute for Intelligent Systems in Tübingen, Germany, co-advised by Jonas Geiping and Douwe Kiela. He completed a dual degree (B.Tech + M.S.) in Computer Science and Engineering from IIIT Hyderabad (2019–2024) under Prof. Ponnurangam Kumaraguru. His research focuses on evaluation and benchmarking of language models, machine unlearning, and building training environments to improve LLM decision-making. He was a SERI MATS scholar, during which he contributed to the WMDP Benchmark (Weapons of Mass Destruction Proxy), a dataset measuring hazardous knowledge in LLMs and evaluating unlearning methods, published at ICML 2024 and featured in TIME Magazine. He also contributed to the Representation Engineering (RepE) paper on AI transparency, and co-authored work on corrective machine unlearning and evaluating whether unlearning methods truly remove information from model weights. His work on fairness in sequential decision-making won an Outstanding Paper Award at AAAI 2024.
