Jan Leike — Description: German AI safety researcher; VP of Alignment Science at Anthropic since 2024 after leaving OpenAI, where he co-led the Superalignment team with Ilya Sutskever. His research focuses on scalable oversight, recursive reward modeling, and AI alignment. Prominent public voice on AI safety resource allocation.

NoteThe source confirms: (1) Jan Leike is German (University of Freiburg education, categorized as '21st-century German scientist'); (2) he joined Anthropic in May 2024; (3) he left OpenAI; (4) he co-led the Superalignment team with Ilya Sutskever. However, the source does NOT confirm: (1) his specific title as 'VP of Alignment Science at Anthropic' — the Wikipedia article only states he 'joined Anthropic' without specifying a role; (2) his specific research focus areas (scalable oversight, recursive reward modeling) — these are not mentioned in the source; (3) that he is a 'prominent public voice on AI safety resource allocation' — while he was featured in Time's AI 100 list, this specific characterization is not in the source. The claim's 'as of 2026-04' date is also beyond the source's latest update (April 2024 based on the Wikipedia revision ID), making current verification impossible for that specific timestamp.
