Megan Kinniment

I am a researcher at METR. 

​

I think the development of AI is going to be a confusing time for the world. I want to help provide good evidence and methodologies for tracking AI development and risk, so humanity can make sensible decisions.

​

I've had different roles at different times, including leading task development and our monitoring stream. I like prototyping new kinds of evaluations. I think it's healthy to read transcripts. I'm interested in what capabilities matter for being a competent agent, and why current AI agents fall short. I feel lucky that I get to spend time building an understanding of the models. 

​

I've previously spent time at the Centre on Long-Term Risk and FHI. Before that I studied physics at university, where I did malaria diagnostics research.
