Q&A with Nicolas Miailhe: Founding a For-Profit AI Evaluations Startup

​From building global AI governance frameworks to developing cutting-edge evaluation systems: What does it take to create impactful AI safety organizations across policy and technical domains?

​Join Catalyze Impact for a conversation and Q&A with Nicolas Miailhe, who has successfully founded and led both technical and policy organizations in AI Safety. As founder and former CEO of The Future Society, Nicolas built the premier international forum on AI governance, convening over 5,500 stakeholders from 130+ countries and helping establish foundational AI frameworks across the EU and US. Now as co-founder and CEO of PRISM Eval, he's leading the organization pioneering "GenAI Cognitive Science" and developing advanced evaluation tools for frontier AI models.

​You will learn about both journeys: how Nicolas grew The Future Society from a Harvard student initiative into an organization in global AI governance, and how he transitioned to founding PRISM Eval to tackle technical challenges in AI evaluation and alignment. We will explore the strategic decisions behind both ventures, the unique challenges of policy versus technical entrepreneurship, and how governance expertise translates across domains.

​This event is perfect for anyone considering AI safety entrepreneurship, whether in policy, governance, or technical research, and those interested in building organizations that bridge multiple aspects of AI safety work.

​This event is hosted by Alexandra Bos, co-founder of Catalyze Impact. Catalyze is a non-profit organization focused on supporting individuals in setting up AI Safety organizations.
