Dr Elise Park
“Measure twice, deploy never.”
Dr Elise Park leads BestSoft AI’s work on model safety, alignment and responsible deployment. She oversees the teams responsible for evaluating how advanced systems behave under uncertainty, how reliably they follow human intent, and how emerging capabilities should be tested before they move into wider use.
Elise is known inside BestSoft for asking the question that tends to arrive immediately after everyone else has become excited about a result: what happens when this goes wrong? Her approach is methodical rather than alarmist. She believes capable AI systems can be enormously useful, but that usefulness depends on understanding their limits as carefully as their strengths.
She works closely with research, engineering and policy teams to ensure safety considerations are incorporated throughout development rather than added at the end.
