  • Area: International Coordination on AI Risks

    • What national and international policy measures are necessary to mitigate extreme AI risks in specific areas, such as strategic instability, deception, and AI-enabled human takeover?

    • What might a realistic US-China agreement on preventing the extreme misuse of advanced AI look like?

    • What key topics should a Track-2 dialogue between Chinese and Western AI developers prioritize?

  • I am an AI policy researcher at Safe AI Forum (SAIF), facilitating global coordination to minimize extreme AI risks. 

    I hold an MA degree in Computational Social Science from the University of Chicago and a BS degree in Philosophy, Politics, Economics from University College London.

  • Possess both technical and policy/social understanding of AI risks, along with experience in conducting independent research and navigating uncertainties.

    Fluency in Chinese and prior policy experience (e.g., working with think tanks, government agencies, or industry governance teams) are a plus.
