person

Vincent Conitzer

CMU professor; cooperative AI researcher

Game theorist and computer scientist who has argued that multi-agent cooperation and mechanism-design approaches should be central to AI safety. Runs the Foundations of Cooperative AI Lab at CMU.

current Professor of Computer Science, Carnegie Mellon University; Professor of Computer Science and Philosophy, Oxford University

Profile

expertise

Deep technical

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

Carnegie Mellon and Oxford. Game-theoretic AI safety; mechanism design; multi-agent ethics. Active publisher.

recognition

Established

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

Recognised in academic AI; less press.

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.

Carnegie Mellon professor; multi-agent + game-theoretic AI work spans 2000s. 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 cooperation-capacity research is a distinct and underfunded AI safety agenda.

Making AI cooperate, with us, and with itself, is an alignment problem of its own.
