NoteThe source text contains a dedicated entry for Ian Baker under the 'Researchers' section of the CHAI personnel directory. It explicitly identifies him as 'Research Engineer with Jonathan Stray' and provides biographical details about his background in software engineering and his goal to 'bring industry-leading software engineering practices to academic research on AI alignment.' All three key fields in the record are confirmed: (1) person = Ian Baker ✓, (2) org = Center for Human-Compatible AI (CHAI) ✓, (3) role = Research Engineer ✓. The only minor variation is that the source specifies he works 'with Jonathan Stray' (indicating a working relationship/mentorship), but this is additional context that does not contradict the stated role of Research Engineer.
