1 week ago

London, Greater London, United Kingdom Genai Works Full time

About the Team

OpenAI's mission is to ensure that general-purpose artificial intelligence benefits all of humanity. We believe that achieving our goal requires effective engagement with public policy stakeholders and the broader community impacted by AI. Accordingly, our Global Affairs team builds authentic, collaborative relationships with public officials and the broader AI policymaking community to inform and support our shared work in these domains. We ensure that insights from policymakers inform our work and - in collaboration with our colleagues and external stakeholders - help shape policy guardrails, industry standards, and safe and beneficial development of AI tools.

About the Role

As the AI Safety Policy Lead, you will be engaging on the full spectrum of policy issues on AI Safety and support the Global Affairs team in the region more broadly with technical expertise and knowledge on LLMs and AI technologies.

OpenAI releases industry-leading research and tools. You will face new challenges as the impact of cutting edge generative AI technologies continues to be explored and as the needs of the organization evolve. Day-to-day work may encompass anything from helping to shape strategic initiatives and policy documents to preparing our leaders for engagements with government officials or representing OpenAI in private and public forums.

We are looking for a self-directed and creative individual combining a technical and research background in LLMs and AI technologies with experience in engaging effectively with policy-makers, research institutes, academics and civil society.

This strategic yet hands-on role will report to the Head of European Policy & Partnerships and work closely with key internal and external partners.

This role will be based out of London and will require frequent travel to meet with key stakeholders. We offer relocation assistance to new employees.

We're looking for a blend of qualifications, including:

  • 3-5 years of experience in (technical) research and policy work on AI Safety
  • Demonstrated interest and ability to engage with policy-makers, regulators, civil society and academics on nuanced discussions around the wide range of AI Safety issues
  • Technical background (ideally a Masters or PhD degree in ML/AI) with deep understanding of LLMs/AI and how they function and are build and trained with practical experience in thinking about how to do that in safe way
  • Worked on topics around: AI risk assessment, model safety, robustness, misinformation/disinformation, etc. and has ideally advised governments on policy actions and work in this space
  • Existing network and credibility within the AI Safety community in Europe
  • Ability to assess and understand the impact of legislative and regulatory proposals on OpenAI's product and research roadmap

You'll thrive in this role if:

  • Established network and credibility with EU Member States and international policymakers, regulators, civil society, and other stakeholders
  • Engineering-level understanding of AI technology and ability to get to answers on tricky technical questions yourself (think reading arxiv papers or codebases to find an answer to a question from a policy-maker)
  • Sound judgment and outstanding personal integrity
  • Ability to execute in fast and flexible environments through rapid cycles of analysis, decision, and action
  • Excellent communication, presentation, and interpersonal skills, with the ability to convey complex technical and policy concepts to diverse audiences
  • Strong strategic thinking, problem-solving, and project management skills
  • Demonstrated knowledge and understanding of the European Union policy-making system, institutions, and processes, and the key policy issues and debates related to AI
  • Track record of effectively working with cross-functional teams, especially engineering and research teams, and aligning a diverse range of internal and external partners
  • Genuine care and knowledge about the impact of technology on society
  • Previous work on AI issues and technical AI development expertise a significant plus
