Jelle Donders

Currently focused on making the Dutch government better prepared for the arrival of advanced AI. Working towards the establishment of a Dutch AI Security Institute.

What motivates me more than anything is:
1) A genuine passion for understanding the world around us in its endless complexity, seeking to minimize the error between reality and my model of the world.
2) Using said understanding to figure out the most effective ways to leverage my career to improve the world.
3) Be part of the frontier of the global conversation on AI governance. Both because of 2) and out of personal interest.

On a lifelong quest to connect people who introspect on their deepest motivations and choose to channel their ambition toward truth-seeking and social impact rather than status. Or those who aspire to. In an age where working on AI safety and governance can also catapult your career, finding those who truly care matters more than ever.
