Ability to use AI every day to build and find ways to push the frontier of model capabilities to accelerate work.

We aim to turn production data into intelligence on the safety of deployed AI models. Safety Oversight is a new team tasked with using large-scale production traffic and a variety of automated evaluation methods to monitor the safety and alignment of deployed models. Our work will ensure we measure the real‑world efficacy of our safety stack—both of in‑model safety training and out‑of‑model safety mitigations to ensure we are effective in our goal of deploying safe models that are used for widespread public benefit.

The Safety Oversight team sits within the GenAI safety organization and is accountable for ensuring that when a model safety issue occurs in production, or when a user is misusing our model at scale, we detect and understand it, so the safety risk can be rapidly mitigated. We will collaborate closely with teams working on safety training and evaluation for Gemini and Gen Media models.

The Generative AI (GenA)
I Safety team operates in a fast‑paced, highly collaborative environment. We take the possibility of tangibly dangerous model capabilities seriously as AI advances, and we believe that proactive monitoring and deployment‑time oversight are critical for safe AI development.

Artificial intelligence will be one of humanity’s most transformative inventions. At Google Deep Mind, we are a pioneering AI lab with exceptional interdisciplinary teams focused on advancing AI development to solve complex global challenges and accelerate high‑quality product innovation for billions of users. We use our technologies for widespread public benefit and scientific discovery, ensuring safety and ethics are always our highest priority.
