@miclchen I basically can't think of anyone better for this role, very excited/happy for you:)))
Proud of Michael for this move! Cal OES's responsibilities in frontier AI are impressively focused on the same internal deployment threat models we've prioritized at METR, and Michael has deep experience working with industry on this topic. We'll miss him, but it's neat to see another METR alum step into a hard-to-fill but critically important government role. Michael is the perfect fit. Congrats Michael!
