AGI Strategies

person

Andrew Critch

Berkeley AI safety researcher; ARCHES framework

AI safety researcher focusing on multi-multi alignment, coordination between multiple AI systems and multiple human stakeholders, as the distinctive AI x-safety problem.

current Research Scientist, UC Berkeley Center for Human-Compatible AI

Profile

expertise

Deep technical

Sustained peer-reviewed contribution to ML, alignment, interpretability, or safety techniques. Could review a frontier paper.

UC Berkeley CHAI research scientist. Long publication record on multi-agent AI safety; coined 'multi/multi alignment' framing.

recognition

Established

Reliable, recognised voice within their specific subfield. Cited and invited but not central to general AI discourse.

Recognised inside the alignment community.

vintage

Pre-deep-learning

Active before AlexNet. The existential-risk frame matures (FHI, OpenPhil, EA). Public AI commentary still rare; deep learning not yet dominant.

MIRI/CHAI from early 2010s. Multi-agent safety frame predates deep-learning.

Hand-classified. See the board for the criteria and the full grid.

Strategy positions

Cooperative AIendorses

Invest in AI-AI and AI-human cooperation capacities

Argues 'multi-multi delegation', coordinating many AIs with many stakeholders, is the distinctive existential AI problem.

Multi-multi delegation should be the focus of AI safety research. Many stakeholders, many AIs, coordinating under uncertainty.
