Known as Mad Max for my unorthodox ideas and passion for adventure, my scientific interests range from artificial intelligence to the ultimate nature of reality
Deeply researched interviews www.dwarkesh.com
Max Tegmark is not just theorizing about AI risk, he is shaping today’s debate with specific proposals like a “Compton constant” to quantify the chance a superintelligent system escapes human control, warning some estimates are alarmingly high. His Future of Life Institute’s 2025 scorecard found leading AI labs still lack credible existential safety plans, a wake up call as new frontier models ramp up.
He is pressing this case in high profile forums, from Davos in January 2025 where he and Yoshua Bengio warned about agentic systems, to recent interviews urging governments to treat AI risk like aviation or pharma with binding safety standards. Hearing Tegmark on the Dwarkesh Podcast right now means getting a timely blueprint for what concrete guardrails should look like before the next model drop.
Do not wait for the next AI headline to make the stakes obvious. Support this nomination today so more people hear Tegmark’s urgent roadmap.
