Former DeepMind Researchers Launch Sampura Research With $11M for AI Oversight

Zubiqo Take

“Offloading model evaluation to secondary AI judges just pushes the reward hacking problem one level higher in the stack.”

Key Developments & Data

Ex-DeepMind researchers launch Sampura Research with $11M to scale AI oversight. Former DeepMind researchers Rishub Jain and Josh Jacob launched the London-based nonprofit on August 25. The organization secured $11M from Coefficient Giving, allocating $7M for its first year and $4M for future use. Sampura builds hybrid human and AI judges across model training and deployment to prevent reward hacking. Both founders previously contributed to AlphaFold and internal AI safety initiatives at DeepMind. Building automated AI judges to monitor frontier models doesn't solve reward hacking when both systems share similar blind spots.

Zubiqo Strategic Assessment

Primary Impact

AI safety research labs, frontier model developers, and automated evaluation framework designers.

Strategic Shift

Transitioning from purely manual human feedback to hybrid human-AI oversight systems for scalable model evaluation.

The Ripple Effect

Independent safety non-profits will increasingly draw senior talent away from major labs to build third-party oversight benchmarks.
