Eliezer Shlomo Yudkowsky – amerykański badacz sztucznej inteligencji, szczególnie technologicznej osobliwości i propagator Friendly artificial intelligence .

Yudkowsky nie uczęszczał na uniwersytet i w dziedzinie sztucznej inteligencji jest samoukiem bez formalnego wykształcenia. Nie stosuje się do systemu akademickiego.

Jest współzałożycielem i badaczem w Singularity Institute for Artificial Intelligence . Yudkowsky jest autorem następujących publikacji SIAI: „Creating Friendly AI” , „Levels of Organization in General Intelligence” , „Coherent Extrapolated Volition” , and „Timeless Decision Theory” .

Badania Yudkowsky’ego skupiają się na tych aspektach sztucznej inteligencji, które pomagają w zrozumieniu samego siebie, modyfikacji samego siebie, i okresowemu samodoskonaleniu ; oraz na architekturze sztucznej inteligencji sprzyjającej stabilnym dobrowolnym strukturom motywacyjnym . Poza pracami badawczymi, Yudkowsky pisze, używając języka nie-akademickiego, artykuły wyjaśniające rozmaite kwestie filozoficzne, zwłaszcza na temat racjonalności, np. „An Intuitive Explanation of Bayes' Theorem”.

Yudkowsky jest też autorem kilku dzieł science fiction i innych z gatunku fikcji literackiej. Jego historia o Harrym Potterze z gatunku fan fiction, Harry Potter and the Methods of Rationality, dotycząca kwestii kognitywistyki i racjonalizmu, zyskała przychylną recenzję pisarza Davida Brina a także programisty FLOSS, Erica S. Raymonda. Harry Potter and the Methods of Rationality jest jedną z najpopularniejszych książek na portalu FanFiction.net, budzącą kontrowersje wśród fanów Harry’ego Pottera.

Jest autorem dwóch rozdziałów w tomie Global Catastrophic Risks, pod redakcją filozofa z Oxfordu Nicka Bostroma oraz Milana Ćirkovicia.

Yudkowsky, wraz z Robinem Hansonem, był jednym z głównych autorów bloga Overcoming Bias sponsorowanego przez Future of Humanity Institute na Oxford University. Z początkiem 2009 pomógł w założeniu Less Wrong, „bloga społecznościowego poświęconego kształtowaniu sztuki ludzkiej racjonalności” .

“If you want to build a recursively self-improving AI, have it go through a billion sequential self-modifications, become vastly smarter than you, and not die, you've got to work to a pretty precise standard.”

“And someday when the descendants of humanity have spread from star to star, they won't tell the children about the history of Ancient Earth until they're old enough to bear it; and when they learn they'll weep to hear that such a thing as Death had ever once existed!”

Twelve Virtues Of Rationality http://yudkowsky.net/rational/virtues

“Your strength as a rationalist is your ability to be more confused by fiction than by reality. If you are equally good at explaining any outcome, you have zero knowledge.”

Your Strength As A Rationalist http://lesswrong.com/lw/if/your_strength_as_a_rationalist/ (August 2007)

“If you've been cryocrastinating, putting off signing up for cryonics "until later", don't think that you've "gotten away with it so far". Many worlds, remember? There are branched versions of you that are dying of cancer, and not signed up for cryonics, and it's too late for them to get life insurance.”

" Timeless Identity http://lesswrong.com/lw/qx/timeless_identity/" (June 2008)

“By and large, the answer to the question "How do large institutions survive?" is "They don't!" The vast majority of large modern-day institutions — some of them extremely vital to the functioning of our complex civilization — simply fail to exist in the first place.”

Helpless Individuals (March 2009) http://lesswrong.com/lw/64/helpless_individuals/

“You turned into a cat! A SMALL cat! You violated Conservation of Energy! That's not just an arbitrary rule, it's implied by the form of the quantum Hamiltonian! Rejecting it destroys unitarity and then you get FTL signalling! And cats are COMPLICATED! A human mind can't just visualise a whole cat's anatomy and, and all the cat biochemistry, and what about the neurology? How can you go on thinking using a cat-sized brain?”

An Alien God http://lesswrong.com/lw/kr/an_alien_god/ (November 2007)

“If I'm teaching deep things, then I view it as important to make people feel like they're learning deep things, because otherwise, they will still have a hole in their mind for "deep truths" that needs filling, and they will go off and fill their heads with complete nonsense that has been written in a more satisfying style.”

A comment on "Mind Control and Me" at LessWrong.com (March 2009) http://lesswrong.com/lw/46/mind_control_and_me/319?context=1

“Part of the rationalist ethos is binding yourself emotionally to an absolutely lawful reductionistic universe — a universe containing no ontologically basic mental things such as souls or magic — and pouring all your hope and all your care into that merely real universe and its possibilities, without disappointment.”

a comment on Hacker News (April 2012) http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=3834636

“There's a standard Internet phenomenon (I generalize) of a Sneer Club of people who enjoy getting together and picking on designated targets. Sneer Clubs (I expect) attract people with high Dark Triad characteristics, which is (I suspect) where Asshole Internet Atheists come from - if you get a club together for the purpose of sneering at religious people, it doesn't matter that God doesn't actually exist, the club attracts psychologically f'd-up people. Bullies, in a word, people who are powerfully reinforced by getting in what feels like good hits on Designated Targets, in the company of others doing the same and congratulating each other on it.”

“In the universe where everything works the way it common-sensically ought to, everything about the study of Artificial General Intelligence is driven by the one overwhelming fact of the indescribably huge effects: initial conditions and unfolding patterns whose consequences will resound for as long as causal chains continue out of Earth, until all the stars and galaxies in the night sky have burned down to cold iron, and maybe long afterward, or forever into infinity if the true laws of physics should happen to permit that. To deliberately thrust your mortal brain onto that stage, as it plays out on ancient Earth the first root of life, is an act so far beyond "audacity" as to set the word on fire, an act which can only be excused by the terrifying knowledge that the empty skies offer no higher authority.”

Beware of Other-Optimizing (April 2009) http://lesswrong.com/lw/9v/beware_of_otheroptimizing/

“Physiologically adult humans are not meant to spend an additional 10 years in a school system; their brains map that onto "I have been assigned low tribal status". And so, of course, they plot rebellion—accuse the existing tribal overlords of corruption—plot perhaps to split off their own little tribe in the savanna, not realizing that this is impossible in the Modern World.”
