Max Kaufmann

Research Engineer @ UK AISI

About

I’m an ML researcher, interested in ensuring that AI progress is broadly beneficial—both by minimising AI-induced harms, and ensuring that the benefits are shared outside of the privileged few.

I’m also an incoming PhD student at the University of Toronto, supervised by Roger Grosse. I’m currently working within the UK government, as part of the founding team at UK’s AI Safety Institute - where I’m building out our infrastructure for running LLM agents.

Previously I worked at the Center for AI Safety, was a research intern at UC Berkeley, studied LLM generalization under Owain Evans and completed my CS undergrad at the University of Cambridge.
