Marc-Everin Carauleanu is an AI safety researcher and Chief Scientist at AE Studio, based in Oxford, United Kingdom. He holds a BSc in Artificial Intelligence from Oxford Brookes University. He has previously been a Summer Research Fellow at the Stanford Existential Risk Initiative (SERI) in 2021, a Student Researcher at the Center for AI Safety (CAIS) in 2022, and received an LTFF grant in 2021 to write a paper on cognitive and evolutionary insights for AI alignment. His primary research agenda focuses on operationalizing "self-other overlap" — a concept from the cognitive neuroscience of empathy — as a mechanism to reduce deceptive behavior in AI systems. He co-authored the paper "Towards Safe and Honest AI Agents with Neural Self-Other Overlap" (arXiv:2412.16325), which was presented at the NeurIPS 2024 Safe Generative AI Workshop and demonstrated significant reductions in deceptive responses across multiple large language models.

Alex Altair (also known as Alex Powell Altair) is an independent AI alignment researcher based in Berkeley, California, specializing in agent foundations. He leads Dovetail Research, a group whose mission is to help humanity safely navigate the creation of powerful AI systems through foundational mathematics research. He was previously a MIRI fellow, a MATS scholar, and an AI Safety Camp research lead, and is a two-time college dropout who attended Worcester Polytechnic Institute and the University of Maine. His research focuses on the agent structure problem, optimization frameworks, Solomonoff induction, and abstract entropy as they relate to understanding the nature of agency and its implications for AI alignment. He has been conducting independent AI alignment research in agent foundations since early 2022 and has received funding from the Long-Term Future Fund (LTFF) for this work. He is an active contributor to LessWrong and the AI Alignment Forum, where he has published over 70 posts.

Chris Patrick is a science writer who received a $5,000 stipend from the Long-Term Future Fund (LTFF) in June 2022 to produce a guide about AI safety researchers and their recent work, targeted to interested laypeople. Working in collaboration with EA Forum user Justis (who provided editing and subject-matter support), Patrick aimed to bridge the gap between introductory AI safety explainers and highly technical blog posts by interviewing researchers and producing accessible writeups. The project resulted in at least one published piece, "AI Safety Concepts Writeup: WebGPT," posted on the EA Forum and LessWrong in August 2023, which covered Jacob Hilton's work on WebGPT at OpenAI. The grant notes described Patrick as the primary recipient with high-level science writing talent.

Ross Nordby is technical staff at Anthropic working on AI safety. Before joining Anthropic, he was an independent AI alignment researcher funded by the Long-Term Future Fund, during which he worked on corrigibility frameworks, interpretability, and reinforcement learning environments. His background is in real-time graphics and physics simulation for video games; he created bepuphysics2, a widely-used open-source C# 3D physics engine, and runs Bepu Entertainment LLC. His published alignment work includes the paper "Soft Prompts for Evaluation: Measuring Conditional Distance of Capabilities" (arXiv, May 2025), exploring optimized input embeddings as a metric for latent capability discovery and automated red-teaming of language models, as well as LessWrong posts on using predictors in corrigible systems and AGI timelines. He received an honorable mention in the AI Alignment Awards Research Contest in the corrigibility category. He is based in Chicago, Illinois, and posts on LessWrong under the handle "porby".
Hannah Nobles is a cyber and AI policy specialist at OpenPolicy, where she designs and hosts policy-focused briefings and events connecting technology companies, security practitioners and policymakers. Her work includes organizing executive briefings and receptions around major security conferences such as Black Hat, helping stakeholders understand the governance, regulatory and business implications of emerging AI and cybersecurity trends.

Michael McLaren is a Senior Research Scientist in the Detection division at SecureBio, a biosecurity nonprofit based in Cambridge, Massachusetts. He is a quantitative biologist with expertise in evolutionary theory, population dynamics, and microbiome measurement methods. He earned a Ph.D. in Biology from Stanford University in 2016 under Marcus W. Feldman, and a B.A. in Mathematics and Logic, Information, and Computation from the University of Pennsylvania in 2009. From 2017 to 2022, he was a postdoctoral researcher with Ben Callahan at NC State University, focusing on quantitative methods for microbiome research. In early 2022, he joined Kevin Esvelt's Sculpting Evolution group at MIT as the scientific lead for the Nucleic Acid Observatory (NAO), a project developing metagenomics-based monitoring systems to detect novel pathogens and provide reliable early warning for catastrophic pandemics. The NAO project subsequently moved to SecureBio, where McLaren continues to lead quantitative research on pandemic detection. He has received funding from the Long-Term Future Fund to develop an early-warning system for future biological risks.

He received a Long-Term Future Fund grant to support one year of independent research and upskilling to transition from academic philosophy to AI alignment research, motivated by his view that recent developments in AI make it critical to ensure AI systems are safe, ethical, and aligned with human goals. He also co-authored a 2024 paper in Scientific Reports examining whether AI-generated poetry is distinguishable from human-authored poetry.
