Change the world full-time

During my PhD in computer science, I realized my career was my biggest resource. I wanted to use it where the stakes are highest: developing safe artificial intelligence. Now, at the UK AI Security Institute, I study how to teach language models behaviors that help instead of harm. The future of this technology depends on the decisions we make today.

After studying philosophy and psychology, I abandoned my plans for a PhD. I knew that if I was going to devote my life to work, I wanted it to have a real impact. Seeing the scale of animal suffering in industrial farming, I wanted to act effectively for real change. That led me to Anima International. Today I support the team operationally, creating conditions for the organization to help millions of animals in Poland and around the world. It is not front-line work, but I know it matters.

In my second year of economics, I was considering different career paths, but I did not yet know what criteria to use. I came across university courses on positive impact, which helped me look at choices through the lens of scale, neglectedness, and tractability. That is how I found AI policy: an important and still neglected topic. Since then, I have been researching how regulation can make AI safe for everyone.
