Philippe Rivet
Bio
Philippe Rivet is a Canadian electrical engineer based in Toronto, Ontario, who has pursued applied technical AI alignment research. He received an NSERC Undergraduate Student Research Award during his undergraduate studies and later completed studies related to machine learning and AI safety, including coursework from Dan Hendryck's ML Safety program. His GitHub profile reflects interests in evolutionary computing, reinforcement learning, interpretability, and AI alignment. He has described his path as a "costly attempt at AI safety research" and has since considered earning-to-give as an alternative contribution to effective altruism. He received a $10,000 grant in support of applied technical AI alignment research. He is active in the effective altruism community, having published a post on the EA Forum titled "The Highly Sensitive EA," and maintains interests in contemplative practice and philosophy.
