Sandra Sobanska

I'm an independent researcher and field builder in AI safety. Also, I love bringing people together in meaningful ways.

I am interested in the human side of AI progress. I design interventions that help us act in integrity with our values, grow discernment and strengthen the relational fabric.

A quote that gets at the essence of what drives my work

“Everything can be taken from a man but one thing: the last of the human freedoms—to choose one’s attitude in any given set of circumstances, to choose one’s own way.”
