Eliezer Yudkowsky
Co-Founder at Machine Intelligence Research Institute
Yudkowsky co-founded the Machine Intelligence Research Institute and spent two decades arguing that misaligned superintelligent AI poses an existential threat — work that helped define the field of AI alignment and the rationalist community around LessWrong. In 2025 he and Nate Soares published the bestseller If Anyone Builds It, Everyone Dies.
