Maksym Andriushchenko

I am a principal investigator at the ELLIS Institute Tübingen and the Max Planck Institute for Intelligent Systems, where I lead the AI Safety and Alignment group. Recently, I served as chapter lead for the International AI Safety Report 2026 chaired by Prof. Yoshua Bengio. I collaborate closely with industry: I have participated in red-teaming efforts for OpenAI and Anthropic models, and the benchmarks I co-authored have been used by DeepMind, Meta, xAI, and Anthropic / UK AI Safety Institute. I obtained my PhD in machine learning from EPFL in 2024, supported by the Google and Open Phil AI PhD Fellowships. My PhD thesis received the ELLIS PhD Award and Patrick Denantes Memorial Prize at EPFL.
