Kickoff Keynote: Why Swarm Alignment Matters | Judd Rosenblatt
Kickoff Talk: Judd Rosenblatt
Judd Rosenblatt is founder and CEO of AE Studio and President of the AI Alignment Foundation. He bootstrapped AE Studio into a 160-person AI company and has used its profits to fund research, first on brain-computer interfaces and now on neglected approaches to AI alignment, across a portfolio of high-upside bets. AE’s work includes pioneering techniques to remove dangerous capabilities from models, translating neuroscience insights into alignment, and empirically studying AI consciousness, with results presented at top AI conferences. Judd makes the case across Wall Street Journal op-eds, CNN appearances, and briefings for U.S. policymakers and national security officials that investing in alignment R&D is how America wins the AI race.
