Yudkowsky founded MIRI and spent two decades writing foundational AI alignment theory. His core argument — that misaligned superintelligence poses existential risk and current techniques are insufficient — is the touchstone against which all safety positions are measured. His pessimism about timelines makes him the field's most prominent Cassandra.
