The Science of Evaluations Team AISI's Science of Evaluations team will conduct applied and foundational research focused on two areas at the core of our mission: (i) measuring existing frontier AI system capabilities and (ii) predicting the capabilities of a system before running an evaluation. Measurement of Capabilities: The goal is to develop and apply rigorous scientific techniques for the measurement of frontier AI system capabilities, so they are accurate, robust, and useful in decision making. This is a nascent area of research which supports one of AISI's core products: conducting tests of frontier AI systems and feeding back results, insights, and recommendations to model developers and policy makers. The team will be an independent voice on the quality of our testing reports and the limitations of our evaluations. You will collaborate closely with researchers and engineers from the workstreams who develop and run our evaluations, getting into the details of their key strengths and weaknesses, proposing improvements, and developing techniques to get the most out of our results. The key challenge is increasing the confidence in our claims about system capabilities, based on solid evidence and analysis. Directions we are exploring include: Running internal red teaming of testing exercises and adversarial collaborations with the evaluations teams, and developing "sanity checks" to ensure the claims made in our reports are as strong as possible. Example checks could include: performance as a function of context length, auditing areas with surprising model performance, checking for soft refusal performance issues, and efficient comparisons of system performance between pre-deployment and post-deployment testing. Running in-depth analyses of evaluations results to understand successes and failures and using these insights to create best practices for testing exercises. Developing our approach to uncertainty quantification and significance testing, increasing statistical power (given time and token constraints). Developing methods for inferring model capabilities across given domains from task or benchmark success rates, and assigning confidence levels to claims about capabilities. Predictive Evaluations: The goal is to develop approaches to estimate the capabilities of frontier AI systems on tasks or benchmarks, before they are run. Ideally, we would be able to do this at some point early in the training process of a new model, using information about the architecture, dataset, or training compute. This research aims to provide us with advance warning of models reaching a particular level of capability, where additional safety mitigations may need to be put in place. This work is complementary to both safety cases -an AISI foundational research effort-and AISI's general evaluations work. This topic is currently an area of active research, and we believe it is poised to develop rapidly. We are particularly interested in developing predictive evaluations for complex, long-horizon agent tasks, since we believe this will be the most important type of evaluation as AI capabilities advance. You will help develop this field of research, both by direct technical work and via collaborations with external experts, partner organizations, and policy makers. Across both focus areas, there will be significant scope to contribute to the overall vision and strategy of the science of evaluations team as an early hire. You'll receive coaching from your manager and mentorship from the research directors at AISI (including Geoffrey Irving and Yarin Gal), and work closely with talented Policy / Strategy leads and Research Engineers and Research Scientists. Responsibilities This role offers the opportunity to progress deep technical work at the frontier of AI safety and governance. Your work will include: Running internal red teaming of testing exercises and adversarial collaborations with the evaluations teams, and developing "sanity checks" to ensure the claims made in our reports are as strong as possible. Conducting in-depth analysis of evaluations methodology and results, diagnosing possible sources of uncertainty or bias, to improve our confidence in estimates of AI system capabilities. Improving the statistical analysis of evaluations results (e.g. model selection, hypothesis testing, significance testing, uncertainty quantification). Developing and implementing internal best-practices and protocols for evaluations and testing exercises. Staying well informed of the details and strengths and weaknesses of evaluations across domains in AISI and the state of the art in frontier AI evaluations research more broadly. Conducting research on predictive evaluations using the latest techniques from the published literature on AISI's internal evaluations, as well as conducting novel research to improve these techniques. Writing and editing scientific reports and other materials aimed at diverse audiences, focusing on synthesizing empirical results and recommendations to key decision-makers, ensuring high standards in clarity, precision, and style. Person Specification To set you up for success, we are looking for some of the following skills, experience and attitudes, but we are flexible in shaping the role to your background and expertise. Experience working within a world-leading team in machine learning or a related field (e.g. multiple first author publications at top-tier conferences). Strong track record of academic excellence (e.g. PhD in a technical field and/or spotlight papers at top-tier conferences). Comprehensive understanding of large language models (e.g. GPT-4). This includes both a broad understanding of the literature, hands-on experience with designing and running evaluations, scaling laws, fine-tuning, scaffolding, prompting. Broad experience in empirical research methodologies, potentially in fields outside of machine learning, and statistical analysis (T-shaped: some deep knowledge, lots of shallow knowledge, in e.g. experimental design, A/B testing, Bayesian inference, model selection, hypothesis testing, significance testing). Deeply care about methodological and statistical rigor, balanced with pragmatism, and willingness to get into the weeds. Experience with data visualization and presentation. Proven track record of excellent scientific writing and communication, with the ability to understand and communicate complex technical concepts for non-technical stakeholders and synthesize scientific results into compelling narratives. Motivated to conduct technical research with an emphasis on direct policy impact rather than exploring novel ideas. Have a sense of mission, urgency, and responsibility for success, demonstrating problem-solving abilities and preparedness to acquire any missing knowledge necessary to get the job done. Ability to work autonomously and in a self-directed way with high agency, thriving in a constantly changing environment and a steadily growing team. Bring your own voice and experience but also an eagerness to support your colleagues together with a willingness to do whatever is necessary for the team's success.
