The SSRC invites applications for the position of Program Director to serve as the research lead and manager for a new program on AI Systems and Disclosures. This role involves leading research on the disclosures and economic incentives in new AI models and platforms, in close collaboration with Tim O'Reilly and other researchers.
The program will aim to produce publications across several research streams, all targeted at understanding and regulating contemporary AI platforms in the public interest. One core output will be creating a systematic framework for AI model governance, analogous to financial disclosures in accounting. The goal is to establish a set of “Generally Accepted AI Management Principles" (GAAP), reflecting the state of the art in managing frontier AI systems.
