About the AI Security Institute The AI Security Institute is the world's largest and best-funded team dedicated to understanding advanced AI risks and translating that knowledge into action. We’re in the heart of the UK government with direct lines to No. 10 (the Prime Minister's office), and we work with frontier developers and governments globally. We’re here because governments are critical for advanced AI going well, and UK AISI is uniquely positioned to mobilise them. With our resources, unique agility and international influence, this is the best place to shape both AI development and government action. The deadline for applying to this role is Sunday 29th November 2026, end of day, anywhere on Earth. Team Description The Human Influence (HI) team focuses on the ways in which AI can influence or have a decisive negative impact on decisions made by humans or other AI systems. A substantial class of AI risk operates through social influence on people or other AI agents. AI systems can persuade others to change their beliefs and to take action; can build trusting relationships with people in order to exploit them; can extract private information from them; and can hold delegated ownership of high-stakes decisions. These can play out in both human-AI and multi-agent AI contexts. Our work is highly interdisciplinary, drawing on methods from computational social science, AI safety and security, cognitive and behavioural science, machine learning, and data science. Typical projects include running rigorous human-AI interaction studies and randomised controlled trials, building evaluations and benchmarks that track AI capabilities across model releases, eliciting model capabilities through fine-tuning and self-play, and developing datasets to monitor real-world risk exposure and severity. On our team, you will have: The opportunity to run large-scale studies, including RCTs, AI model evaluations, large scale data analytics, red teaming, and human participatory methods…
