Machine Intelligence Research Institute (MIRI) — Founded By: sid_fS1tEGKuNq

Verdictconfirmed95%
1 check · 4/16/2026

The source text explicitly confirms that Eliezer Yudkowsky was one of the founders of MIRI (originally called the Singularity Institute for Artificial Intelligence) in 2000. While the source also mentions Brian and Sabine Atkins as co-founders, the claim that Yudkowsky was a founder is directly and clearly confirmed. The opaque identifier 'sid_fS1tEGKuNq' in the claim cannot be verified from the source, but it does not contradict the founding claim itself.
