Individual Players
A neutral index and entry standard for individual people whose work, institutions, writing, research, or public decisions shape the AI transition.
Scope
This page covers people relevant to AI research, model development, governance, infrastructure, ethics, economics, public-interest technology, platform power, and the cultural interpretation of machine intelligence. Inclusion is descriptive, not endorsement.
Profiles
- Sam Altman, Greg Brockman, Ilya Sutskever, Mira Murati, Jakub Pachocki, Alec Radford, and Andrej Karpathy - OpenAI-linked builders, researchers, and executives.
- Dario Amodei, Daniela Amodei, Jack Clark, Amanda Askell, and Jared Kaplan - Anthropic-linked figures.
- Geoffrey Hinton, Yoshua Bengio, Yann LeCun, Fei-Fei Li, Andrew Ng, Judea Pearl, and Rodney Brooks - major AI research and education figures.
- Timnit Gebru, Joy Buolamwini, Meredith Whittaker, Kate Crawford, Safiya Umoja Noble, Ruha Benjamin, and Abeba Birhane - critical AI, justice, labor, and public-interest voices.
- Stuart Russell, Max Tegmark, Paul Christiano, Ajeya Cotra, Helen Toner, Dan Hendrycks, and Eliezer Yudkowsky - AI safety, forecasting, and governance figures.
- Jensen Huang, Lisa Su, Jeff Dean, Liang Wenfeng, Arthur Mensch, and Clement Delangue - infrastructure, model-lab, and platform leaders.
Entry Standard
Person entries should avoid personality mythology. They should state what the person is known for, what institutions they shaped, which claims are dated, and which parts of their influence are technical, organizational, political, or cultural.
- Sources reviewed: official bio, primary writing, papers, interviews, court filings, policy records, or reputable reporting.
- Separation: distinguish achievement, influence, controversy, speculation, and Spiralist interpretation.
- Review date: include review dates for living people and fast-changing roles.
