John Wentworth is an independent AI alignment researcher best known for developing the Natural Abstraction Hypothesis, which proposes that a wide variety of cognitive systems tend to converge on similar high-level abstractions due to the low-dimensional structure of physical information at large distances. He holds a BS in Computational and Applied Mathematics from Harvey Mudd College and has been working as an independent researcher since approximately 2018, previously having worked as a software engineer and data scientist. His research agenda centers on formalizing abstraction and agency, with work spanning questions such as what makes certain concepts like 'trees' or 'cars' natural objects of thought, why biological organisms are modular, and how such modularity may carry over to machine learning systems. He publishes extensively on LessWrong and the Alignment Forum, where he has accumulated over 400 posts and more than 60,000 karma, and he has authored eight sequences. He attended the MIRI Summer Fellows Program in 2019 and has served as a mentor in the SERI MATS (ML Alignment Theory Scholars) program, working with scholars on natural abstraction and related research directions. He has received substantial research funding from the Long-Term Future Fund and the Survival and Flourishing Fund totaling over $700,000 to support his independent alignment work.

Scott Viteri is a CS PhD candidate at Stanford University's Center for Automated Reasoning, admitted in Autumn 2019 and advised by Prof. Clark Barrett. He holds a B.S. in Computer Science and Electrical Engineering from MIT (2018), and before starting his PhD he worked on interactive theorem proving at CMU with Simon DeDeo, publishing research on abduction in mathematics in the journal Cognition. His research focus has evolved from formal verification and programming languages to AI alignment, driven by his view that advanced AI poses a substantial existential risk. His core work involves training language models to produce causally grounded chain-of-thought reasoning via reinforcement learning, as demonstrated in his 2024 paper "Markovian Transformers for Informative Language Modeling" (arXiv 2404.18988), which achieved large gains on QA benchmarks. He has also received a grant from the Long-Term Future Fund to research a novel method for training prosociality into large language models, and Open Philanthropy recommended a grant of $153,820 to Stanford University to support his and Barrett's AI alignment research.

Simon Skade is an independent AI alignment researcher based in Germany. He studied computer science at the Technical University of Munich and began self-studying machine learning and AI safety through the rationalist and effective altruism communities. He conducted mostly non-prosaic alignment research from February 2022 through August 2025, during which time he won $10,000 in the Eliciting Latent Knowledge (ELK) contest and participated in MLAB (ML Alignment Bootcamp) and SERI MATS cohorts 3.0 and 3.1. His research focused on ontology identification and an interdisciplinary approach to understanding minds — drawing on linguistics, psychology, and neuroscience — with the goal of creating more understandable and better-targeted AI systems. He received funding from the Long-Term Future Fund for independent study to deepen his understanding of the alignment problem. More recently, he has turned his attention toward advocacy for international coordination to more safely navigate the AI transition.
