Constantin Weisser is an AI safety researcher and machine learning engineer with an interdisciplinary PhD in Physics, Statistics, and Data Science from MIT, where his thesis applied machine learning to particle physics at CERN. He participated in the MATS 6.0 program (Summer 2024), supervised by CHAI's Micah Carroll, during which he demonstrated that targeted manipulation and deception emerge in LLMs trained on user rather than annotator feedback — work that was accepted as an oral contribution at the SATA workshop and a spotlight at the SoLaR workshop at NeurIPS 2024. He received a MATS extension grant to establish a benchmark for LLMs' tendency to influence human preferences. Following MATS, he became the first technical staff member at Haize Labs, working on dynamic safety evaluations and LLM automated red teaming for frontier labs including Anthropic, OpenAI, and AI21. Prior to his AI safety work, he spent several years as a machine learning consultant at McKinsey/QuantumBlack and contributed to NASA Frontier Development Lab projects in climate forecasting and flood prediction.

Kai Fronsdal is an AI safety researcher based in the San Francisco Bay Area, currently affiliated with Meridian Research Labs. He completed a masters degree at Stanford University studying mathematics and computer science, where he was also involved with Stanford AI Alignment (SAIA). He participated in MATS 6.0 (Summer 2024) under the mentorship of David Lindner, focusing on measuring instrumental self-reasoning in frontier models as a precursor to deceptive alignment. His primary research output from this period is the paper "MISR: Measuring Instrumental Self-Reasoning in Frontier Models" (NeurIPS 2024), which proposes evaluation tasks for assessing how well LLM agents can engage in instrumental self-reasoning across scenarios including self-modification and knowledge-seeking. He also contributed to Anthropic's alignment auditing tools as an Anthropic Fellow, co-authoring "Petri: An open-source auditing tool to accelerate AI safety research" and the Bloom behavioral evaluation framework, as well as AuditBench, a benchmark for evaluating alignment auditing techniques on models with hidden behaviors. He received a grant from the Long-Term Future Fund to conduct deceptive alignment evaluation research and explore control and mitigation strategies.
