According to Bloomberg, former Google researchers Rishub Jain and Joshua Jacob founded the nonprofit organization Sampura Research, aiming to ensure continuous human involvement in AI safety oversight, creating a human-machine hybrid system called "Referee" to help companies identify vulnerabilities and prevent models from going out of control. The organization has raised $6.5 million in funding and secured an additional $4.2 million in committed investments.Jain believes that involving humans from the early stages of research and development helps prevent models from learning to circumvent safety measures.
