I moved to London 3 years ago to join @AISecurityInst, at the time a few people with visitor passes and a whiteboard. Since then AISI has become the world’s largest and best-funded group in gov focused on AI security & safety. Fun to be in @nytimes!

So pleased that our paper on empowerment and causal models is out and freely available as part of this impressive special issue on world models and AI, with Melanie Mitchell, Josh Tenenbaum, Tom Griffiths and many other stars.
