Policy Advisor

Since our founding in 2023, ControlAI has run several successful campaigns. We are a small team of driven individuals, with a singular mission to prevent the development of unsafe superintelligence and secure a great future for humanity.

We gathered over 20 UK lawmakers in acknowledging the risk of superintelligence, over 60 UK lawmakers in support of our policy to ban deepfakes across the supply chain, ensured foundation models were kept in scope in the EU AI Act against concerted corporate lobbying, and developed a comprehensive policy plan to address extinction risk from AI.

We are expanding our UK policy team and seeking a talented individual to drive forward our parliamentary engagement on AI security and safety.

The role is focused on building public and political support for addressing the extinction risk from superintelligence. Our priority is to expand our base of parliamentary support and translate the growing concern about AI into concrete policy measures.

We are looking for a skilled policy professional who can navigate the technical complexities of AI policy and the practical realities of Westminster.
