Canadian Jacob Tsimerman earned international attention when he won the prestigious Fields Medal – math’s highest honour – in June. After accepting the medal, the mathematician announced he was changing careers. His newly launched AI safety lab will use math to keep the rapidly evolving technology from spiralling out of control.
