Bio
Roman Leventov is an independent researcher, blogger, and philosopher focused on intelligence and agency, with particular emphasis on Active Inference, AI alignment, ethics, and collective decision-making systems. He holds a technical background in software engineering from Bauman Moscow State Technical University in Moscow and has contributed to high-performance open-source systems including Apache Druid. He has worked as a software engineer at companies including Metamarkets and Pocketdata.AI, and runs the "Engineering Ideas" Substack covering systems engineering, AI, and philosophy of agency. His AI safety research examines goal misgeneralisation through the lens of Active Inference and the development of collective sense-making architectures. He is a founding member of the Gaia Consortium, a project aimed at building a global decentralized system for collective decision-making and civilisational intelligence. He received a grant from the Long-Term Future Fund to support six months of independent research on goal misgeneralisation from an Active Inference perspective and collective decision-making systems.
