Mary Phuong, a Research Scientist at Google DeepMind, is now tracked in Turing Tree. Her work includes evaluating whether frontier models show dangerous capabilities and developing AI control: safeguards intended to keep advanced systems secure even if they attempt to bypass restrictions.

Phuong co-authored DeepMind’s GDM AI Control Roadmap, a proposal for layered defenses as AI agents become more capable and more deeply integrated into internal systems.
