Summary

Stephen "Cas" Casper, Assistant Professor at Harvard Kennedy School working on AI safeguards, incidents and governance, hosts an AMA covering AI safety, risk, state and federal legislation, and AI terrorism events.

AMA Finished. Thank you for the questions! Prior to joining Harvard, I completed my PhD at MIT and did a research residency with the UK AI Security Institute. I never have and never will work for big tech, and have never signed a non-disparagement agreement. I will cover AI safety, safeguards, risk, governance, state + federal legislation, and AI terrorism events. Any related questions are welcome. I am typing my own answers to this AMA and will be answering questions between 3:00-4:00pm ET today.
