Eliezer S. Yudkowsky (born September 11, 1979) is an American artificial intelligence researcher and writer on decision theory and ethics, best known for popularizing ideas related to friendly artificial intelligence.

He is the founder of and a 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.

At a time of great challenge to democracies globally, we seek to advance a pro-democracy movement in tech and tech policy.

Our goal is to provoke new ideas, debate and discussion at the intersection of technology, democracy and policy, with a particular focus on:

• Concentrations of power: the interaction of tech platforms, governments and the media and the future of the public sphere;

• Geopolitics of technology: how nation states approach technology in the pursuit of advantage;• Technology and the economy: the relationship between markets, business, and labor;

• Racism, bigotry, violence & oppression: how tech exacerbates or solves such challenges; • Ethics of Technology: how technology should be viewed alongside existing democratic ethos, especially with regard to privacy, surveillance and personal freedoms;

• Election integrity & participation: mechanisms of democracy, problems such as disinformation and how citizens come to consensus.
