Jamie Bernardi

Jamie Bernardi (full name James Bernardi) is an AI safety researcher and policy professional based in London, UK. He studied Physical Natural Sciences (MSci Physics) at St John's College, Cambridge (2015-2019), then worked as a machine learning engineer at Audio Analytic (2019-2021), a sound recognition company later acquired by Meta. In 2021-2022 he worked as an independent researcher in collaboration with Oxford's Future of Humanity Institute, designing a pessimistic reinforcement learning algorithm intended to improve AI safety by having the system ask for human help when uncertain about potential harms. He co-founded BlueDot Impact in August 2022, an education charity running the AI Safety Fundamentals courses that have introduced thousands of ML engineers, policymakers, and students to AI safety and governance. After serving as a GovAI Winter Fellow and IAPS Fellow focused on AI policy and societal adaptation to advanced AI, he joined the UK AI Security Institute (AISI), where he works on strategic awareness. He has contributed to UK policymaking on AI regulation and international AI governance efforts.
