Peter Slattery is a Research Scientist at MIT FutureTech, an interdisciplinary group based at MIT’s Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Lab and the Initiative on the Digital Economy that studies how advances in computing and AI shape scientific progress and economic outcomes.

At FutureTech, he works on the MIT AI Risk Initiative, which includes the MIT AI Risk Repository, a continuously updated database of more than 1,600 AI risks organized by cause and risk domain and used by policymakers, technologists, and organizations to inform AI governance.

Building on this, he is now working on the AI Risk Index, which will pinpoint important risk-response gaps by comparing expert recommendations on best-practice AI risk management against what more than 200 model developers, enterprises, and governance bodies are actually doing in practice.
