NoteThe source confirms Richard Ngo worked at DeepMind in an AI safety-related role ('research engineer on the AGI safety team'), which aligns with the claimed role of 'AI Safety Researcher'. However, the source does not provide specific start or end dates. The source uses past tense ('Previously, I was...'), confirming this is a former position, but the exact years 2020–2022 are not mentioned in the provided excerpt. The organization is referred to as 'DeepMind' in the source, while the claim specifies 'Google DeepMind'—this is a minor naming variation (DeepMind was acquired by Google/Alphabet, and is now formally Google DeepMind), so it is not a contradiction. The role title differs slightly ('research engineer' vs. 'AI Safety Researcher'), but these are compatible descriptions of the same position. The record is partially confirmed but lacks date verification.
