Jaime is a researcher focused on statistics and technological forecasting. Besides his role at Epoch, he is a research affiliate of the Centre for the Study of Existential Risk at Cambridge University and the cofounder of Riesgos Catastróficos Globales.

Tamay is the associate director at Epoch. His work focuses on the economics of computing and big-picture trends in machine learning. Previously, he was a researcher at the Future Tech Lab at MIT, led strategy for Metaculus, consulted for the UK Government, and worked at the Future of Humanity Institute.

David is a researcher with a background in computer vision and machine learning. He is interested in analysing and predicting model capabilities, and using empirical data to explore AI deployment in the real world. Before joining Epoch, David worked in an industrial research lab developing AI models for surgical video.

Pablo has a background in Mathematics and Computer Science. After spending some time as a software engineer, he decided to pivot towards AI. His interests include the economic consequences of advanced AI systems and the role of algorithmic improvements in AI progress.

Anson is a researcher and writer for Epoch. His research interests are in interpretability, theoretical AI alignment, and ensuring safe AI development through governance and strategy. Prior to this, he completed his BSc in physics at the University of St Andrews.

Matthew received a degree in computer science from UC Berkeley. He’s currently interested in getting a clearer picture of how AI will impact the world in the next few decades.

Ben’s research interests include the diffusion of AI capabilities among actors, and measuring the effects of different inputs to AI progress. Previously, he was a Research Fellow at Rethink Priorities, and spent time as a software engineer. Ben has a background in Machine Learning.

Ege is an undergraduate student at Middle East Technical University. He has interests in mathematics, statistics, economics and forecasting.

Robi manages the databases for Epoch’s hardware and machine learning datasets, and collects data on new AI systems.

Robi is also a contributor to the Stanford AI Index Report and a volunteer for his local effective altruism chapter.

Before joining Epoch, Robi received a master’s degree in data science from Harvard University.

Edu does some programming.

María is a Special Projects Coordinator at Rethink Priorities, Epoch’s fiscal sponsor. She manages operations at Epoch, along with Rethink’s core operations team. She has a background in philosophy. Previously, María co-founded a communications consultancy after having worked in publishing and journalism.

Lennart supports Epoch’s research and strategy. He extracts the strategy and policy implications of Epoch’s investigation for the AI governance community.
In his primary role, Lennart is a researcher at the Centre for the Governance of AI in Oxford, focusing on Compute Governance. His research interests include the role of compute in the production of AI, the compute supply chain, forecasting emerging technologies, and the security of AI systems. His time is split into the strategic and technical analysis of the compute governance domain and active policy engagement with GovAI’s policy team.

Marius builds models for AI timelines and takeoff using historical trends and his best understanding of the future.
