Dwarkesh Patel is an American writer, researcher, and podcaster best known as the host of the long-form interview show Dwarkesh Podcast, which focuses on artificial intelligence, science, and history. While studying computer science at the University of Texas at Austin, he began interviewing writers and technologists in 2020 for an early version of the show, initially called The Lunar Society, and has since hosted high-profile guests including Andrej Karpathy, Ilya Sutskever, Mark Zuckerberg, Elon Musk, Satya Nadella, Tony Blair, and Dominic Cummings. In 2024 Time named him one of the 100 most influential people in AI, and in 2025 he co-authored The Scaling Era: An Oral History of AI, 2019–2025, a book largely composed of excerpts from his podcast interviews with leading AI researchers and company founders.

Thomas Costello

Individual

Thomas H. Costello is an Assistant Professor in Social and Decision Sciences at Carnegie Mellon University, where he directs the Viewpoints Lab. He also holds affiliated faculty appointments at CMU's Human-Computer Interaction Institute and serves as a Research Affiliate at MIT's Sloan School of Management. He earned his PhD from Emory University under Scott Lilienfeld and completed a postdoctoral fellowship at MIT Sloan with David Rand and Gordon Pennycook. His research integrates psychology, political science, and human-computer interaction to study belief formation, attitude change, and the societal impacts of artificial intelligence on persuasion and misinformation. His landmark 2024 Science paper demonstrated that personalized AI dialogues (using GPT-4 Turbo) reduced conspiracy beliefs by approximately 20% in a large sample, with effects persisting for two months, earning the 2026 AAAS Newcomb Cleveland Prize. A subsequent 2025 Nature paper examined AI's persuasive power in political contexts, and his work on frontier LLMs' ability to persuade humans on extreme and hazardous topics directly addresses AI safety concerns around manipulative AI systems. He is a Research Affiliate at FAR.AI and was named an APS Rising Star in 2025.

Philipp Bongartz

TeamIndividual
Individual

Philipp Bongartz is a German machine learning engineer and independent AI alignment researcher who received a Long-Term Future Fund grant of approximately $25,000 for prosaic alignment research using chess as a model domain. He has developed a research agenda centered on building a multi-modal chess-language model with an encoder-decoder architecture, using chess as a testbed for investigating symbol grounding and truthfulness in AI models. His GitHub projects include Chess2Vec, ChessTransformer, and other chess-related ML tools, as well as bioinformatics work suggesting a computational background spanning machine learning and life sciences. He holds a PhD (defended in early 2020) from the Heidelberg Institute for Theoretical Studies (HITS). He has been an active contributor to the LessWrong and Alignment Forum communities under the handle p.b. since December 2020, with over 26 posts and 295 comments on topics ranging from chess AI to model scaling and alignment methodology. He has worked as a Senior Consultant and Data Scientist at Exxeta AG in Germany and is a rated chess player with a FIDE standard rating of approximately 2155.
