In AI safety and alignment, they are spearheading some interesting work in the use of AI in pharmaceuticals
I don’t know anything about this company, but from your description I’d be very surprised if their work matters much for AI Alignment (either helping or harming). This seems solidly focused on finding profitable ways to use AI in industry in fairly niche, specific applications.
I’d guess the key arguments for or against are biosecurity considerations, where I don’t know much!
This seems fair. I think something I should have added to the post is that I think it would also help with my own career capital. To date I have not worked on any products using AI. I’m keen on moving into AI alignment in future, and feel that working in the space before advising on policy would be helpful. For various reasons the company is very suitable to my career trajectory at the moment, so I think it would stand me in good stead to learn while there, with an eye on the future.
