What is Holden Karnofsky working on these days? He was writing publicly on AI for many months in a way that seemed to suggest he might start a new evals organization or a public advocacy campaign. He took a leave of absence to explore these kinds of projects, then returned as OpenPhil’s Director of AI Strategy. What are his current priorities? How closely does he work with the teams that are hiring?
Holden has been working on independent projects, e.g. related to RSPs; the AI teams at Open Phil no longer report to him and he doesn’t approve grants. We all still collaborate to some degree, but new hires shouldn’t e.g. expect to work closely with Holden.
