Nicky Case

Nicky Case is an independent Canadian creator specializing in interactive explorable explanations and educational games. Born in Singapore and raised in Canada, they dropped out of UBC's Computer Science program and worked briefly as a software engineer at Electronic Arts before becoming a full-time independent creator funded through Patreon. They are best known for projects such as "Parable of the Polygons" (a simulation on systemic bias), "The Evolution of Trust" (an interactive game theory explainer), and "Adventures with Anxiety," all of which aim to help people understand complex systems through play. In the AI safety space, they received a Long-Term Future Fund grant for a one-year stipend to create accessible explainers on AI alignment, which resulted in the "AI Safety for Fleshy Humans" series hosted at aisafety.dance, developed in collaboration with Hack Club. In early 2025 they also participated in the MATS AI Safety Research Bootcamp in London.
