About

This is my (Sean McGregor's) vanity website. It contains my blog on all things machine learning, AI safety, FLOSS non-profits, and Life.

Status Update

My current focus is standing up the Digital Safety Research Institute at the UL Research Institutes. Our research engineering efforts center on the foundational community infrastructure required for a safer digital ecosystem. Cornerstone projects include cataloguing AI harms within the AI Incident Database, programmatic assessment of large language models, red teaming the release of a forthcoming LLM, and integration of comprehensive risk measures into digital system assessment.
