Dave Banerjee

Welcome! I am an associate researcher at the Institute for AI Policy and Strategy, where I research AI security, compute governance, and extreme power concentration. Previously, I was a summer fellow at Centre for the Governance of AI, participant in ARENA 5.0, hardware security research assistant through the SPAR program, and security engineer at a hedge fund. I graduated from Columbia University in December 2024, where I studied computer science with a focus on cryptography, reverse engineering, and ML.

My academic interests lie in AI security & governance, hardware & software security, physics, and cognitive science. I enjoy thinking about what a post-AGI world will look like and how we can make it as good as possible.
