For our next event, we have a guest speaker, Arush Tagade, who will speak about evaluating the safety and capabilities of AI models.

This talk will present the motivation behind model evaluations and jailbreaks along with its relevance to AI Safety. This will be followed by an overview of AI Safety careers and a Q&A at the end. This talk is a joint event with EA Dunedin.

Arush is an interpretability and model evaluations researcher currently contracted with Leap Labs. He received his Masters from the University of Sydney in 2022 and worked for an AI hardware startup before transitioning to independent research in January 2023. He was a TA at ARENA 2.0 in May 2023, and has been a TA for Intro to ML Safety and AGI Safety Fundamentals in 2022.

Effective altruism is a movement focused on finding the most effective ways to have a positive impact. EA Wellington is a group of about 40 people who meet up weekly to talk about different topics in effective altruism and ways we can get involved.

This session will be held in room MZ02 at Pipitea Campus. While we run events at the university our group is comprised of both students and professionals. Anyone is welcome to join. Please be aware the doors to the university stop automatically opening past 6 pm.
