Job Details

AI agents represent the next frontier, intelligent systems capable of independent action and complex decision-making. Their deployment promises unprecedented efficiency and innovation. But unleashing this autonomy creates an urgent need: how do we manage these agents effectively, ensure safety, and guarantee alignment with human values when agents operate in the wild?

Our Oversight initiative focuses on real-time monitoring, intervention, and continuous learning for AI agents, ensuring reliability, risk mitigation, and user trust as AI becomes more autonomous.
