Gabriel Recchia is a cognitive scientist and director of Modulo Research, where he works on the evaluation and alignment of large language models and the design of scalable oversight protocols. At Modulo he has led work releasing datasets of expert-annotated valid and invalid long-form solutions for use in scalable oversight experiments and related studies on how humans and models evaluate complex answers. Previously, he led user-testing research and evaluation for patient-friendly genetic reports and the Predict: Breast Cancer prognostic tool at the University of Cambridge’s Winton Centre for Risk and Evidence Communication, and has co-authored widely cited research on risk perception and communication.

Persuading a critical mass of key potential influencers of Trump's AI policy to champion a bold, timely and proper US-China-led global AI treaty

David Reber is a PhD student in Computer Science at the University of Chicago, advised by Victor Veitch and Ari Holtzman. His research centers on precise causal inference over large language models, with a focus on post-hoc internal interpretability and validating human-understandable concepts within these systems. He is motivated by AI safety applications such as monitoring long-term planning and detecting deception, and is also interested in fairness and adversarial robustness. Earlier in his PhD he worked on empirical and theoretical extensions of Cohen and Hutter's pessimistic conservative reinforcement learning agent under the guidance of Michael Cohen. He received multiple grants from the Long-Term Future Fund, beginning in 2021, supporting his early RL safety research and his transition into the AI safety field. He is an active contributor to the AI Alignment Forum and LessWrong under the handle derber, and has published at venues including ICML.

Roman Soletskyi is a Ukrainian researcher based in Paris, France, currently working as a researcher at Mistral AI. He completed an MS in Physics at Ecole Normale Superieure – PSL (2022–2024) after undergraduate studies in physics at Moscow Institute of Physics and Technology (2020–2022), and won a gold medal at the International Physics Olympiad in 2017. His research spans AI safety and formal verification, machine learning theory, and applied deep learning. Notable work includes "Training Safe Neural Networks with Global SDP Bounds" (2024, co-authored with David Dalrymple of ARIA), which develops methods for training neural networks with formal safety guarantees using semidefinite programming, with applications to safe reinforcement learning policies; this work was supported by the Long-Term Future Fund and the Machine Learning Alignment Theory Scholars program. At Mistral AI he has contributed to projects including the Pixtral 12B multimodal model and research on variational inference theory.
