Description

  • Map the context in which AI-related risks or opportunities arise and identify where interventions are needed.
  • Draft clear write-ups describing the risk, the proposed intervention, the relevant stakeholders, and the rationale for action.
  • Work with domain experts to validate feasibility and with stakeholders to assess whether an intervention would be sufficient.
  • Identify the people best suited to advise, steer, fund, and eventually lead each intervention.
  • Collaborate with recruiters to pitch potential founders for new organizations and introduce them to funders.
  • Work closely with Atlas leadership and the founder cohort to develop and advance intervention concepts.

  • Meaningful experience in at least one epistemic security area, such as media forensics, deepfake detection, content provenance, platform trust and safety, content moderation, recommender integrity, information operations analysis, election security, democratic resilience, or public trust measurement.
  • Experience with strategic technological or product planning, technology roadmapping, multi-year strategic planning, or working in an ARPA-like entity.
  • Strong ability to interview experts and synthesize across domains.
  • Comfort forming and revising hypotheses quickly, with strong creative problem-solving skills.
  • Ability to reason about AI trajectory, safety, and future-state technologies.
