Chris Meserole is the Executive Director of the Frontier Model Forum and an expert on frontier AI security.

Prior to the Frontier Model Forum, Chris served as Director of the AI and Emerging Technology Initiative at the Brookings Institution and a fellow in its Foreign Policy program. Established in 2018, the Initiative has aimed to advance the responsible governance of AI by supporting a wide range of high-profile efforts across Brookings, from research on the impact of AI on bias and discrimination to its implications for global inequality and democratic legitimacy.

Among other efforts, Meserole has co-led the first global multi-stakeholder group on recommendation algorithms and violent extremism for the Global Internet Forum on Counter Terrorism; published and testified on the challenges posed by AI-enabled surveillance and repression; and organized a US-China track 2 dialogue on AI and national security, with a focus on AI safety and testing and evaluation.
