Currently focused on AI safety university group field-building.

First encountered EA and AI safety in the summer of 2025. In my last year at UVA, I founded the Virginia AI Security Initiative (VAISI) and played a small part in reviving the EA group. I attended the October 2025 GCP in Boston and the recent EAGxDC.

See jasonchin.dev for my latest happenings!

How others can help me

I'm looking for students that might be interested in founding an AI safety group at their university. See https://aisafetyseeding.org for more info. 

How I can help others

I'm decently connected in the AI safety university group ecosystem, especially with the groups in the DMV area. Happy to leverage my network.

Philly as the next EA/AIS hub!? 

If Thomas or I come across any Philly-metro schools we'll lyk.

US only was our initial focus given our capacity constraints, our experience with US uni culture, and the US's impact, but things are trending towards us expanding operations globally! 


We're happy to accept any leads, even international and non-priority schools! We can, at the very least, connect them to the right people or resources.

Great stuff! I'd be interested in seeing a cost-benefit analysis of the marginal AI-off drill in different sectors.
