AI Safety gets a push from Chris Meserole and a $10 million fund
Chris Meserole is the first executive director of the Frontier Model Forum, an industry body focused on global AI safety and responsible development. Meserole brings expertise in technology policy and governance, having previously served as director of the Artificial Intelligence and Emerging Technology Initiative at the Brookings Institution.
In addition, Forum members Anthropic, Google, Microsoft, and OpenAI, along with philanthropic partners, are committing more than $10 million to a new AI Safety Fund.
