From December 2015 Richard was on the founding team of the IEEE Global Initiative on Ethics of Autonomous and Intelligent Systems and continues to serve on its Executive Committee. He co-chairs the recurring SafeAI and AISafety technical safety workshops at AAAI and IJCAI, and in 2021 was the Executive Director of the Consortium on the Landscape of AI Safety, for which he was drafted because of his AI safety field landscaping & synthesis work at FLI. Richard has served in the Safety and the Labor & Economy Working Groups at Partnership on AI, is an advisor to The Future Society, and is an Honorary Senior Fellow at the Foresight Institute.
