The AI Disclosures Project, is a pioneering research initiative aimed at understanding and mitigating the risks arising from the commercialization of AI models, particularly large language models (LLMs). The project is dedicated to ensuring that AI technological development by corporations is driven by the right market incentives, through enhancing transparency and oversight. Our research focuses on the disclosures, auditing, and regulatory frameworks needed to address the incentives for AI companies to “move fast and break things” or use their market power and opaque algorithms to degrade output quality or exploit their ecosystem.

The role involves publishing academic research, policy briefs, and contributing to thought leadership online. Creative, expansive, thinking is essential. The work will involve managing interdisciplinary collaborations across organizations, directing junior researchers internally, and communicating effectively with both technical and non-technical audiences.
