The opportunity
Models are becoming increasingly capable—moving from tools that assist humans to agents that can plan, execute, and adapt in the real world. Mitigating the frontier risks resulting from these capabilities is paramount to OpenAI’s ability to continue deploying models safely.
What you'll do
Measurement. Monitoring and predicting the evolving capabilities of frontier AI systems.
Mitigation. Keeping misuse and misalignment safeguards, alignment tools, and: security measures on track to adequately address extreme threats that might arise in the future.
Coordination. Setting mitigation targets by maintaining OpenAI’s preparedness: framework , and partnering with other staff to achieve these targets.
Work on identifying emerging AI safety risks and new methodologies for: exploring and mitigating the impact of such risks
Build (and then continuously refine) the evaluations that enable us to assess: the extent of these risks; this might include working with domain experts (be it internal or external)
Set research directions and strategies to make our AI systems safer, more aligned, and more robust
What they're looking for
- Contribute to the development of “best practices” guidelines for AI safety for OpenAI and across the industry
- Evaluate and design effective red-teaming pipelines to examine the end-to-end: robustness of our safety systems, and identify areas for future improvement.
- Are excited about OpenAI’s mission of building safe, universally beneficial: AGI and are aligned with OpenAI’s charter .
- Show enthusiasm for long-term AI safety, and have thought deeply about technical paths to safe AGI.
