Eliezer Yudkowsky
Eliezer S. Yudkowsky is an American artificial intelligence researcher and writer on decision theory and ethics, best known for popularizing ideas related to friendly artificial intelligence, including the idea of a "fire alarm" for AI. He is a co-founder and research fellow at the Machine Intelligence Research Institute (MIRI), a private research nonprofit based in Berkeley, California. His work on the prospect of a runaway intelligence explosion influenced philosopher Nick Bostrom's 2014 book Superintelligence: Paths, Dangers, Strategies.
George Hotz and Eliezer Yudkowsky hashed out their positions on AI safety.
It was a really fun debate. No promises but there might be a round 2 where we better hone in on the cruxes that we began to identify here.
