[edit]Leung graduated from the University of Auckland in New Zealand with a Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) with First Class Honours in Civil Engineering in 2015.[6] She won a Rhodes Scholarship in 2016.[7] She completed her DPhil in International Relations in the Department of Politics and International Relations at the University of Oxford in 2019.[8] Her PhD thesis was on "Who will govern artificial intelligence? Learning from the history of strategic politics in emerging technologies".[9]
In October 2023, she left OpenAI to join the United Kingdom's AI Safety Institute, where she designs and oversees safety evaluations, and manages staffing. The tests aim to assess whether frontier AI models can facilitate cyber or biological attacks, and whether they could potentially escape human control.[1]
