The record claims Jan Leike was at 'Google DeepMind' with role 'Research Scientist' from 2017-2021. The source text refers to 'DeepMind' (not 'Google DeepMind' — DeepMind was acquired by Google in 2014 but is typically referred to as 'DeepMind' in this context). More critically, the source does not confirm the 2017-2021 date range. The source only states he was 'an alignment researcher at DeepMind' prior to OpenAI, with no specific start or end dates provided. The record's specific dates (2017-2021) cannot be verified from this source and may be inaccurate. Additionally, the role is listed as 'Research Scientist' in the record, but the source describes him as 'an alignment researcher' without specifying that exact title.
