NoteThe record claims Chris Olah was a Researcher at OpenAI with startDate 2018 and endDate 2021-01. The source confirms he worked at OpenAI as a researcher (interpretability research specifically), but provides no dates. The Wikipedia article mentions his work at OpenAI in the context of mechanistic interpretability research and activation atlases (2019 collaboration noted), which is consistent with the 2018-2021 timeframe, but the source does not explicitly state these dates. Therefore, the person, organization, and role are confirmed, but the specific dates are unverifiable from this source.
