SB 53 and RAISE implementation roles

​[Posting this on behalf of someone I trust who wants to stay anonymous.]California SB 53 and the New York RAISE Act are the only laws in the US designed to protect against catastrophic risk from frontier AI systems. With the federal government failing to act on this area, these states are the center of AI policymaking in the US right now. Since every frontier AI company needs to operate in California and New York, they effectively apply to all of the major players. Both of these laws now have to be implemented well, and these states need your help. Below are some very important jobs that will help stand up some of the most important offices for frontier AI in the country. We’d really encourage you to apply to them! Both states could also pass additional laws in the future to strengthen these requirements, making it even more important that good folks are already in government when that happens.If you do apply, please also email implementation@secureaiproject.org. The folks at Secure AI Project can give context and help advocate for promising candidates.
