Yonadav Shavit — Description: Policy staff at OpenAI. PhD in Computer Science from Harvard. Author of 'What does it take to catch a Chinchilla?' (2023), the first major compute monitoring framework proposing on-chip firmware snapshots for international AI governance verification.

NoteThe source confirms Yonadav Shavit has a PhD in Computer Science from Harvard and has worked on AI policy. However, the source contradicts or fails to confirm several key claims: (1) The source describes him as a 'PhD candidate' (not yet completed), not a PhD holder with completed degree; (2) The source mentions Schmidt Futures (2021-2022) for AI policy work, NOT OpenAI as current employer; (3) The source makes no mention of the paper 'What does it take to catch a Chinchilla?' or any compute monitoring framework; (4) The source is undated but appears older (references 'I no longer update this site'), so the 'as of 2026-03' claim cannot be verified against current information. The claim appears to describe a more recent state than what the source reflects.
