  • Eliezer S. Yudkowsky (born September 11, 1979) is an American artificial intelligence researcher concerned with the Singularity, and an advocate of Friendly Artificial Intelligence. Yudkowsky is a co-and research fellow of the Singularity Institute for Artificial Intelligence (SIAI). Yudkowsky is the author of the SIAI publications "Creating Friendly AI" (2001) and "Levels of Organization in General Intelligence" (2002). His most recent academic contributions include two chapters in Oxford philosopher Nick Bostrom's edited volume Global Catastrophic Risks. Yudkowsky did not attend high school and is an autodidact with no formal education in artificial intelligence. Yudkowsky's research work focuses on Artificial Intelligence designs which enable self-understanding, self-modification, and recursive self-improvement; and also on artificial-intelligence architectures for stably benevolent motivational structures. Apart from his research work, Yudkowsky is notable for his explanations of technical subjects in non-academic language, particularly on rationality, such as "An Intuitive Explanation of Bayesian Reasoning". Yudkowsky was, along with Robin Hanson, one of the principal contributors to the blog Overcoming Bias sponsored by the Future of Humanity Institute of Oxford University. In early 2009, he helped to found Less Wrong, a "community blog devoted to refining the art of human rationality". Overcoming Bias subsequently became Hanson's personal blog.
