ALTER joined the NIST AI Safety Consortium and co-hosted an event on AI standards setting for safety.
A new preprint on “The Necessity of AI Audit Standards Boards” is available, building on earlier safety culture work.
ALTER-US hired Alex Appel and continues to support Gergely Szucs’ work on Infra-Bayesian approaches for mathematical AI safety.
A paper analyzing the costs of metagenomic approaches in Israel was accepted to Global Health Security 2024.
ALTER is engaging with the Biological Weapons Convention as an NGO, though work is currently on hold due to Israel’s geopolitical situation.
The RAND contract and potential additional funding have improved ALTER’s financial position for core operations and future initiatives.
