Peter S. Park

Dr. Park is a postdoctoral associate at MIT's Tegmark Lab, a Vitalik Buterin Postdoctoral Fellow in AI Existential Safety, and the Director of the nonprofit Stake Out AI (https://stakeout.ai).

Dr. Park applies mathematics, the social sciences, and the cognitive sciences to research human-AI dynamics. To illustrate, OpenAI's mission is to create "highly autonomous systems that outperform humans at most economically valuable work." If and when we humans cede our decision-making to these highly autonomous AIs, will we come to regret this potentially irreversible choice? Dr. Park investigates this question by using a variety of tools, such as empirical studies of current AI systems, relevant data from the evolutionary or historical past, and mathematical models of what a hypothetical AI-led future may look like.
