AI Security Researcher

CommonAI CIC is seeking an AI Security Researcher to support its High Assurance programme, which focuses on the accuracy, explainability and accountability of AI systems used in regulated environments. The role tracks relevant research, challenges technical decisions, threat-models and red-teams AI systems, and tests interpretability methods for simpler models.

Responsibilities:

• Track key research and developments relevant to the High Assurance programme, including attacks on AI models, defences against them, and the security of the systems that serve them
• Report on what these developments mean for the programme and our Members, through written briefings and presentations
• Review the programme's technical decisions and directions from an attacker's point of view, and propose stronger alternatives
• Threat-model AI systems used in regulated settings, covering model weights, training data, inference serving, and the tools and agents built on them
• Red-team the systems we build, within an agreed scope, and report findings through a clear disclosure process
• Help develop interpretability methods for the simpler models produced by our frontier research, and test their limits, for example by trying to hide behaviour the methods should detect
• Build internal expertise by sharing what you learn with colleagues and helping answer technical questions from our Members
