What Do AI Safety Analysts Actually Do?

You're the human oversight layer for AI systems. Here's a typical day:

Review AI System Documentation

Companies submit their AI systems for compliance review. You read their documentation, check if they meet EU AI Act/NIST/ISO standards, and identify any red flags.

Assess Risk Levels

Determine if an AI system is low, medium, or high risk. High-risk systems (credit scoring, hiring, medical) require extra scrutiny. You flag systems that don't meet safety thresholds.

Identify Bias and Fairness Issues

Look for bias in training data, algorithmic discrimination, or unfair outcomes across demographic groups. This is where your critical thinking skills matter most.

Write Safety Reports

Document your findings in clear, actionable reports. Recommend approval, rejection, or improvements. Your reports go to the 33-Agent Council for final determination.
