Nicholas Kees Dupuis

Nicholas Kees Dupuis is an AI alignment researcher and entrepreneur who co-founded Mosaic Labs, a nonprofit R&D organization developing AI-facilitated group deliberation tools, where he serves as CEO alongside co-founder and CTO Sofia Vanhanen. He holds a Master's degree in Artificial Intelligence from the University of Groningen (2022), where his thesis focused on theory of mind for multi-agent coordination. He conducted research at EleutherAI under Kyle McDonell and Laria Reynolds, studying how finetuning methods can cause alignment failures analogous to those in reinforcement learning, and has published academic work on computational social choice including the paper "Condorcet Markets" (2023). He is best known in the AI safety community for his influential "Cyborgism" essay on the Alignment Forum (February 2023), which proposed a strategy of using human-in-the-loop systems to safely accelerate alignment research by empowering human agency rather than outsourcing it; he subsequently led the Cyborgism track at AI Safety Camp 2023. He received a $120,000 one-year grant from the Long-Term Future Fund to continue developing his research agenda on making LLMs directly useful for alignment research without advancing capabilities. His personal website is lovedoesnotscale.com and he maintains a Substack under the same name.
