Kai Sandbrink

TeamIndividual
Individual

Kai Sandbrink is a DPhil candidate in computational cognitive neuroscience at the University of Oxford's Department of Experimental Psychology, based at Lady Margaret Hall. He is co-supervised by Professor Christopher Summerfield at Oxford and Professor Wulfram Gerstner at EPFL, where he is also an invited guest researcher. Prior to Oxford, he completed an MS in Neural Systems and Computation at ETH Zurich and an MA in China Studies at Peking University. His research uses deep reinforcement learning as a task-driven model of human behavior, with a focus on learning dynamics, cognitive flexibility, and exploration-exploitation trade-offs. His AI-safety-relevant work includes improving deep learning's understanding of uncertainty and designing safer, more interpretable reward functions for reinforcement learning algorithms. He is an affiliate at Concordia AI and has an interest in East-West cooperation on AI safety and governance. He received a Long-Term Future Fund grant in 2021 for starting funds and moving costs related to his DPhil project.

James Payor

TeamIndividual
Individual

James Payor is an independent AI alignment researcher based in Australia. He worked as Research Staff at the Machine Intelligence Research Institute (MIRI) in Berkeley from January 2018 to April 2022, and has since been pursuing independent AI alignment research. Before MIRI, he was co-founder and CTO of Draftable, a document comparison software company based in Melbourne, from 2015 to 2017. His research focuses on agent foundations, proof-based cooperation, corrigibility, and building AI systems that maintain robust alignment with human input. He is notable for developing a method for proof-based cooperation that does not require Löb's theorem, and has published work on modal fixpoint cooperation on the AI Alignment Forum. More recently he has been working on better foundations for theorem proving, computer-assisted mathematics, and dependently-typed programming languages. In his youth he represented Australia at the 2013 International Olympiad in Informatics, earning a silver medal.

John Bridge

TeamIndividual
Individual

John Bridge is a legal researcher affiliated with the effective altruism community who received a grant from the Long-Term Future Fund to research the international viability of FHI's Windfall Clause, a policy proposal by the Future of Humanity Institute for AI developers to commit a portion of transformative AI profits to public benefit. At the time of his research, he identified as a law student. He wrote a sequence on the EA Forum titled "Towards a Worldwide, Watertight Windfall Clause" examining the legal enforceability of the Windfall Clause across seven common law jurisdictions. His published posts (May-June 2022) include analyses of inadequate contractual remedies and the challenges English law poses for good-faith obligations in AI governance agreements. He shelved the project in 2023 due to competing research demands. His work was acknowledged by Cullen O'Keefe and Haydn Bellfield, key figures in the GovAI and FHI Windfall Clause research.
