Benjamin Murphy.

I am an AI Policy Resident at RAND CAST’s Technology Policy and Governance team, where I lead workstreams related to loss-of-control and cyber risks and design policy responses at the state and federal level.

I am also a Non-Resident Fellow at the Foundation for American Innovation, where I lead tort liability and First Amendment research within Frontier Legal Defense. Last, I’m a Non-Resident Fellow at the Institute for Progress, where I work on emerging technology policy and build infrastructure that enables policy entrepreneurship to move faster.

I’m generally in Cambridge, MA, where I’m a final-year student at Harvard Law School and an editor of the Harvard Law Review.

I was previously a Summer Fellow at the Centre for the Governance of AI in London. I have also been a Member of Technical Staff at Inflection AI, where I was the first engineer on the safety team, and additionally worked on product and ML infrastructure; a full-stack engineer at Substack (growth, systems, strategy); and a Site Reliability Engineer at Google.

I am a serial collector of hobbies, few of which I have enough time for, but all of which I refuse to drop. My list includes ultimate frisbee, rock climbing, cooking, photography, birding, World of Warcraft, board games, and watching football. I, along with my partner, am also the proud parent of a small poodle who regularly reminds both of us to stop working on the computer and go outside.
