Jessica Rumbelow is the CEO and co-founder of Leap Laboratories (Leap Labs), an AI interpretability startup based in London, UK. She holds a PhD in model-agnostic interpretability from the University of St Andrews (2020–2023), where she also completed an MSc in Advanced Computer Science, and her doctoral research introduced novel techniques including Hierarchical Perturbation (HiPe) and the Proxy Model Test for evaluating saliency mapping algorithms. Prior to founding Leap Labs, she worked as a Research Scientist at the University of St Andrews applying deep learning to digital pathology, and held roles as Technical Alignment Research Scientist at Aligned AI and Research Scholar at SERI (Stanford Existential Risks Initiative). She participated in the MATS (ML Alignment Theory Scholars) Summer and Autumn 2022 cohorts, during which she co-authored the widely-cited "SolidGoldMagikarp" research on anomalous tokens in GPT-2 and GPT-3 with Matthew Watkins. She has been granted the title of Affiliated Lecturer by the Department of Computer Science and Technology at the University of Cambridge, and serves on the Advisory Board of the London Initiative for Safe AI (LISA). Leap Labs received seed funding from the AI Risk Mitigation Fund to develop its universal interpretability engine.
