Projects

My project from the AI Security Bootcamp, which won 2nd prize. TLDR: if you give me any two .pickle files, I can make their MD5 hashes collide. I also explain why this doesn’t work for .safetensors. One of the nerdiest and most enjoyable projects I’ve ever done, and definitely the most low-level. Not sure about its practical usefulness, though, as nobody uses MD5 anymore (and nobody should be using .pickle files!).

I look into the EU Whistleblowing Directive, analyse where it falls short in the context of AI, stress the importance of whistleblowing for upholding AI regulation, and sketch a path forward. Written and published with the generous support of Karl Koch and the AI Whistleblower Initiative.

My BlueDot Biosecurity Fundamentals project, a simple web app that pulls Covid-19 epidemiological data from the Delphi group at CMU and lets users explore correlations between different signals, as well as forecasts.

My BlueDot AI Safety Fundamentals project, looking into the tradeoff between sycophancy and truthfulness.

My first ever Apart Hackathon. Was largely responsible for coming up with the original idea.
