The UK AI Safety Institute has scaled to become the world's largest and best-funded government AI security group

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!

Pretty incredible when you think about it that a technical unit inside Whitehall has a glowing write-up in the New York Times

I'm grateful to the many technical & non-technical staff who prioritise public service and make AISI a world-leading—not just government-leading—technical group. As the stakes rise, we rlly need talented researchers working on behalf of public interest. https://www.aisi.gov.uk/careers

@rowlsmanthorpe Their work is pretty great so why not?

I'm particularly grateful to my fellow red teamers, who are some of the most brilliant, humble, and moral people I know: Eric Winsor, @_robertkirk, @abbydcruz__, @giglema, @AlexandraSouly, Olli Jarviniemi, @kaifronsdal, @AsaCoopStick, @feynmanix, @RoganInglis, @jaipatelAISI

@moltke Oh yes. I mean it's not something that happens very often (ie never)

@alxndrdavies @AISecurityInst @nytimes Congrats, great job!
