What I learnt co-leading an AI Safety bootcamp for legal and governance practit
More people than ever want to work on AI safety research, and there are real policy wins in the US, the UK and Europe. Each stage was tied to the questions they face in their own work: procurement, risk assessment, and where vendors' safety claims break down.What made this bootcamp different from potentially from similar AI safety fellowships, was the audience we brought together [2] . We also had representation from the judiciary and the public sector.For context, I co-led this first edition with Elsa Donnat, and designed the curriculum's practical exercises track.

But political will and market incentives are now the bottleneck, and policy officers can't own correct implementation alone.Having built a Responsible AI program at an Accenture joint venture, I know profit-driven companies are hard to steer, but also that people inside them can shift practice in ways that compound: tighter contractual clauses, more scrutiny of vendors and suppliers, fewer ways for providers to get away with non-compliance.
