Fathom Senior Advisor Dr. Gillian Hadfield Appointed to Group of AI Experts in California

News

Today, key architect of the IVO (Independent Verification Organization) framework and Fathom senior advisor, Dr. Gillian Hadfield, was named to Governor Gavin Newsom’s group of AI experts. Fathom CEO and Co-Founder Andrew Freedman released the following statement:

"For years, Dr. Gillian Hadfield has championed a novel idea for meaningful AI safety oversight: a market of independent technical experts licensed by and accountable to the government.

Two years ago we teamed up, and Fathom has proudly worked alongside Dr. Hadfield to bring that idea to life. IVOs are now the framework at the heart of major AI legislation advancing right now in state legislatures across the country, on Capitol Hill, and even this week on the margins of the UN.

Dr. Hadfield is a powerhouse AI policy architect and expert, and her appointment to the Governor’s panel of experts is an invaluable asset to California and policymakers across the country."
